Houthi-attacked oil tanker salvaged, averting major environmental disaster

Credited from: APNEWS

  • An oil tanker named Sounion, struck by Houthi rebels, has been successfully salvaged after weeks of burning in the Red Sea.
  • The tanker contained 1 million barrels of crude oil, raising concerns about a possible spill comparable to the Exxon Valdez disaster.
  • Over three weeks, a security firm extinguished the fires and patched cargo tanks to make the vessel safe for towing to Suez.
  • The Houthis, responsible for the attack, have targeted around 100 merchant vessels with missiles and drones amid ongoing conflicts.
  • No immediate comment has been received from the Houthis regarding this incident, which marks a significant response to their recent actions.
