New Delhi: An Indian-flagged cargo vessel sank in the Red Sea off Yemen’s western coast on Tuesday after an explosives-laden boat struck it, according to officials. All 14 people on board, including 13 Indian seafarers, were rescued by Yemeni forces following the attack. The Ministry of External Affairs said the vessel was carrying 14 crew members at the time of the incident and confirmed that the ship came under attack in waters off Yemen. The incident has heightened concern over maritime security in the Red Sea corridor, a crucial route for global commerce that has seen repeated attacks on commercial shipping in recent months. The latest episode, officials said, was the first known attack on an Indian ship in the Red Sea corridor.
