MIDDLE EAST: INDIA SAYS COMMERCIAL SHIP SUNK OFF YEMEN

India reported that a commercial vessel was attacked off Yemen, causing it to capsize and sink in the Red Sea, while all crew members were rescued and reported safe. The incident was described as an assault on a “defenseless” ship, and India confirmed the loss of the vessel.

According to Deutsche Welle, the ship was struck near Yemen’s coast and subsequently capsized before sinking. The incident is corroborated by the South China Morning Post, which noted the sinking occurred in the Red Sea after an attack close to Yemen. India did not name the assailants, but the statement highlighted the ship’s vulnerability. Concurrently, Deutsche Welle reported that Lebanon and Israel held talks in Rome despite Hezbollah’s objections, while the Jerusalem Post added that the parties were weighing mechanisms to verify Hezbollah disarmament.

Yemen’s ongoing conflict has made its waters a high‑risk zone for maritime traffic, and the sinking underscores the security challenges faced by commercial shipping in the region.
