A ship from India sinks in the Red Sea, but all 13 sailors are saved.

A cargo vessel, flying the Indian flag, was tragically sunk in the Red Sea off the coast of Yemen after being targeted by an explosive-laden boat. According to Xinhua News Agency, 14 crew members were rescued by Yemeni forces, with 13 of them being Indian sailors and one being from Yemen. The vessel, named Faize Noore Oliya, was attacked approximately 13 nautical miles away from the Houthi-held city of Hodeidah.

In a statement released by the National Resistance Forces, a government-affiliated group, it was revealed that a joint operation between the coast guard and naval units successfully rescued all 14 individuals on board. The statement did not specify the exact time of the attack, but it did confirm that no casualties were reported and that the crew received necessary medical assistance. The NRF has pointed fingers at the Houthi group for the attack, although the Houthis have not yet made any comments.

This unfortunate incident comes just a month after another attack on a Saudi-owned tanker in the Red Sea. According to the official Saudi Press Agency, the tanker, named Encelia, was targeted and caught fire while sailing. Thankfully, all crew members were reported to be safe, and relevant authorities have taken necessary measures to secure the vessel and protect the marine environment.

The source also revealed that the attack was orchestrated by the Houthi group, as a result of a long-standing blockade imposed by Saudi Arabia. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations also released a statement regarding the attack, stating that it occurred about 70 nautical miles away from Al Shuqaiq, Saudi Arabia, in the southern Red Sea. However, the Houthis have claimed that they have launched attacks on two Saudi oil tankers, Encelia and Layla, using a combination of ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as drones.

The group has cited the violation of their recently announced maritime restrictions as the reason behind this attack, as they continue to accuse Saudi Arabia of imposing a blockade on their controlled areas. It is a tragic event that has caused damage and destruction to both human lives and the marine environment. The safety of crew members and vessels must be a top priority, and it is essential to find a peaceful resolution to the ongoing conflict in the region.

As we await further updates on the situation, let us hope that there will be no more casualties, and that peace and stability will be restored in the Red Sea.
