On July 3, 2024, a video circulated online showing a man driving a speedboat crashing into what appeared to be a warship, causing a massive explosion, claiming it was a Yemeni Houthi organization attacking a large ship. Upon verification, the video was actually a demonstration clip aired on the Houthi organization's TV station 'Masirah,' showcasing the 'Toofan-1' unmanned speedboat and not a real attack on foreign ships in the Red Sea. The spread misinformation lacked context and could easily lead to misunderstanding among the public. The rumor stemmed from a video shared on social media platforms without clear background information, originating from various TikTok users and being reposted on platforms like Facebook and LINE.
