Houthi rebels of Yemen have been blamed for the Red Sea attack on the Indian-flagged commercial vessel MVS Faize Noore Oliya on August 4. There were 13 Indian sailors on the ship, all of whom were rescued. The Houthis have also claimed another Red Sea attack on the Saudi Arabia-flagged tanker Wafaa. The MEA has condemned the attack on the Indian-flagged commercial vessel MSV Faize Noore Oliya, which sank in the Red Sea off the coast of Yemen on August 4, 2026. And now, Houthi attacks in the Red Sea (between the western coast of the Arabian Peninsula and the eastern coast of North Africa) become yet another maritime crisis for India.
