The crew aboard a sinking merchant ship that was damaged in a June 13 attack in the Gulf of Aden have been evacuated, the Royal Navy’s Maritime Trade Coordination Center said June 15.
It should be noted that no one is currently operating the vessel. According to the source, she is moving 30 nautical miles northeast of Djibouti. The fire that broke out after the impact aboard the freighter continues and the ship itself is sinking.
Recall that on June 13, a Ukrainian ship in the Gulf of Aden was subjected to rocket fire by the Yemeni Houthis.
Yemen’s Houthis also claimed responsibility for the attack on the Greek merchant ship Tutor in the Red Sea. The rebels said they carried out a “military operation” using a naval drone, unmanned aerial vehicles and ballistic missiles. The resulting damage threatens the possibility of sinking the ship. The ship was carrying coal.
