Indian-flagged vessel sinks off Yemen after projectile attack; crew rescued
An Indian-flagged mechanized sailing vessel, MSV Faize Noore Oliya, sank off the coast of Yemen on Tuesday after being hit by a projectile. The vessel caught fire and capsized near Hodeidah. All 13 Indian crew members were rescued by the Yemeni Coast Guard. India's Ministry of External Affairs condemned the attack, and Yemen blamed Houthi rebels for what it called a "terrorist attack." The incident highlights ongoing risks to commercial shipping in West Asian waters.
