Indian freighter sunk by drone off Hodeidah
The 'Faize Noore Oliya' was hit by an explosive laden boat in the southern Red Sea, about 13 nautical miles south of Hodeidah, on Aug 4, 2026. Short time after the impact, the burning vessel capsized and sank. No group has claimed responsibility for the strike, but the location and apparent method were consistent with previous Houthi operations. The 14 crew members aboard the freighter were rescued by the Yemeni Coastguard, in coordination with the Yemeni Navy, and taken to the Port of Mocha. As 13 of them were Indian nationals, the nearest Indian embassy in Riyadh was working with Yemeni authorities to ensure their wellbeing. The 'Faize Noore Oliya' had a history of AIS-dark operations, including the 44-day period immediately prior to the attack. Known calls before the incident included ports of the UAE, Oman and Djibouti. The Indian government strongly condemned the attack, emphasising the need to restore free and safe maritime transport in the Red Sea for the security of international trade. The Yemen Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates on Aug 5 denounced the attack as a "Houthi terrorist attack". The attack attracted attention because it occurred after the Houthis recently had stated they were targeting commercial vessels, particularly those linked to Saudi Arabia. Four Saudi-flagged commercial ships have been attacked since July. Report with photo and video: https://english.mathrubhumi.com/amp/news/world/indian-cargo-ship-sinks-yemen-hodeidah-attack-gdjd8rif
