INDIAN SHIP SINKS IN RED SEA AFTER ATTACK NEAR YEMEN

An Indian‑flagged commercial vessel was struck and subsequently sank in the Red Sea on Tuesday after an attack near the Yemeni port of Mokha. The Yemeni coastguard rescued all 14 crew members, and the Indian government condemned what it called the “unprovoked” aggression.

According to the South China Morning Post, Yemen’s internationally recognised government attributes the strike to Iran‑backed Houthi rebels, who also declared a maritime blockade of Saudi Arabia last month. The Indian Times confirms that every crew member was rescued and that the ship capsized as a result of the attack. New Delhi’s statement was issued in response to the incident, labeling it an unprovoked act.

The Red Sea has become a flashpoint for Houthi attacks on commercial shipping, raising concerns about disruptions to global oil transport. The incident underscores the escalating tensions in the region and the broader impact of the Houthi‑Saudi conflict.
