A Greek-flagged tanker was adrift in the Red Sea on Wednesday after repeated attacks that started a fire on the vessel and caused the ship to lose power, the UK maritime agency said. Ansarullah have launched attacks on international shipping near Yemen since November in solidarity with Palestinians in the war between Israel and Hamas. They did not immediately claim responsibility for Wednesday’s attacks. Passengers on two small boats attacked the Sounion, hitting it with multiple projectiles about 77 nautical miles (142 km) west of Yemen’s port city of Hodeidah on Wednesday morning, the Greek shipping ministry and the UK Maritime Trade Operations said. “There is a fire onboard and the vessel has lost engine power,” UK MTO reported. “The vessel is drifting and not under command.” It was loaded with Oil in Al Basrah, Iraq [club152044818|@Slavyangrad] Source: Slavyangrad
