New investigation challenges claim that Syrian sailor killed at Ras Isa was a Houthi military expert
Verify-Sy published an investigation describing Abdulrahman Ali Muzairib as a civilian sailor aboard the Vikan, rejecting claims that he worked as a military expert for the Houthis. The platform said it relied on a document from the ship’s captain and testimony from the victim’s father, while an Al-Sahil al-Gharbi report described him as a military expert, citing unnamed sources. We have not independently authenticated the document and therefore present the accounts as conflicting. The death relates to the bombardment of Ras Isa port on October 13; the development within this window is publication of the investigation, not an additional death.
