EU salvage mission successful after securing burning Houthi-hit oil tanker

The Greek-owned MV Sounion oil tanker, damaged by Yemen’s Houthi fighters, has been safely relocated in the Red Sea with no reported oil spillage. Abandoned after a missile attack on August 21, the tanker carried nearly one million barrels of crude oil. An EU-coordinated salvage operation involving three vessels and a warship prevented an environmental disaster.
