Greek-flagged tanker at anchor, all crew evacuated after repeated attacks off Yemen — UKMTO
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) says a Greek-flagged oil tanker that was adrift in the Red Sea after repeated attacks is now at anchor and all crew have been evacuated.
Sounion was targeted yesterday by multiple projectiles off Yemen’s port city of Hodeidah, where the Iran-aligned Houthis have been attacking ships in solidarity with Palestinians in the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
