Greek Oil Tanker Leaking in Red Sea After Houthi Attack

The tanker, carrying 1 million barrels of crude oil, poses significant navigational and environmental risks.

The Greek-flagged tanker Sounion was attacked by Yemen's Houthi rebels last week, causing fires and engine failure.
Efforts to salvage the vessel have been thwarted by Houthi threats, preventing third-party tugs from assisting.
The tanker is carrying approximately 1 million barrels of crude oil, raising fears of a major spill.
The Houthis claim the attacks are in solidarity with Palestinians amid the Israel-Hamas conflict.
The U.S. and its regional partners are working to mitigate potential environmental impacts.
