Projectile Hits Gas Tanker Off Yemen as EU Mission Rescues 24, Two Missing

Attribution remains unclear following a Huthi denial.

Overview

  • EUNAVFOR Aspides reports 24 of the 26 crew have been recovered and the search continues for two missing sailors.
  • UK Maritime Trade Operations says a fire broke out after the impact from a projectile of unknown origin.
  • Security firm Ambrey places the strike about 60 nautical miles from Ahwar in the Gulf of Aden.
  • The tanker had sent a distress signal and was traveling from Oman to Djibouti when it was hit.
  • Huthi officials, via the Saba agency, deny involvement as monitors track the incident against wider regional shipping risks linked to recent Red Sea tensions and a Gaza war ceasefire.
