Salvagers launch new attempt to tow an oil tanker blown up by Yemen’s Houthi rebels
Salvage operations have started for the Greek-flagged oil tanker Sounion, which is burning in the Red Sea after being attacked by Yemen’s Houthi rebels. The EU’s Operation Aspides is providing security for tugboats involved in the effort. The tanker holds 1 million barrels of crude oil, heightening concerns about an environmental disaster.
