India condemns the sinking of one of its merchant ships in an attack in the Red Sea

The Indian government has condemned the sinking of the commercial vessel MSV Faize Noore Oliya off the coast of Yemen in the Red Sea. The attack, which resulted in no fatalities, has been attributed by authorities in Sana'a to Houthi rebels aligned with Iran.

This incident occurs amid a broader campaign of maritime aggression in the region. Separately, Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for a recent missile attack on a Saudi Arabian oil tanker in the northern Red Sea, marking a continuation of their ongoing blockade and targeting of commercial shipping.
