Fire seen in Red Sea, likely indicating hostile craft destroyed in area
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — British security firm Ambrey says a fire was spotted in the Red Sea approximately 58 nautical miles southwest of Yemen’s port of Salif.
A nearby vessel observed smoke coming from the water, an incident likely related to the destruction of an unmanned surface vessel, Ambrey says.
“Hostile manned, and unmanned craft, have been operating in the area,” Ambrey adds.
