India-flagged vessel sinks off Yemen coast following attack
An India-flagged merchant vessel has sunk off the coast of Yemen after being struck by a projectile. All crew members were successfully rescued by the Yemeni coast guard.
An India-flagged ship has sunk in the Red Sea following an attack by an unidentified projectile off the coast of Yemen. The incident prompted an official condemnation from the Indian government, which characterized the strike as an "unprovoked attack" on maritime security.
While the vessel was lost, authorities confirmed that the crew members were safely rescued by the Yemeni coast guard. There is a minor discrepancy regarding the number of crew members involved in the incident. The Independent reports that 14 crew members were rescued, while India Today states that 13 individuals were saved. Neither outlet identified the specific group responsible for the projectile strike, nor did they provide details regarding the ship's cargo or its intended destination. The incident adds to the ongoing security concerns for commercial shipping vessels navigating the Red Sea region, which has seen frequent attacks on international maritime traffic in recent months.
