‘Deeply worrisome’: India condemns attack on ship in Red Sea, Yemen blames Houthis for ‘terrorist attack’
Shipping minister Sarbananda Sonowal said the cargo vessel, MSV Faize Noore Oliya, capsized and sank after being hit by a “projectile” near Yemeni waters.
India has strongly condemned the attack on an Indian-flagged merchant ship that sank in the Red Sea off the coast of Yemen. The ship, carrying 13 Indian nationals, was targeted by what Yemen's government described as a "Houthi terrorist attack." The Indian Ministry of External Affairs expressed deep concern over the repeated attacks on commercial vessels in the region, calling them "deeply worrisome."
The vessel, named MSV Faize Noore Oliya, capsized and sank after being hit by a projectile. All the Indian crew members were later rescued and taken to the port of Mokha in Yemen. Yemen's internationally recognized government condemned the attack, calling it a "flagrant violation of international law" and a direct threat to maritime safety and security.
