Burning Tanker With 1 Million Barrels Of Oil Salvaged After Houthi Attack In Red Sea
A Greek-flagged oil tanker, Sounion, carrying 1 million barrels of crude oil, has been salvaged after burning for weeks in the Red Sea following an attack by Yemen’s Iranian-backed Houthi rebels.
The incident, described as a disaster waiting to happen, threatened an oil spill that could have been four times larger than the 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster in Alaska.
The Houthis initially attacked the tanker on August 21, using small arms fire, projectiles and a drone boat.
