Maritime Authority: Tanker Sends Distress Call in Gulf of Aden
The region is facing an escalation in threats to maritime navigation, with the Gulf of Aden and the area near the strait experiencing severe security issues. One of the armed oil tankers headed towards Somalia after being hijacked by six unidentified militants, according to a report from the UK Maritime Trade Operations Center. The center also noted that the Houthis, supported by Iran, have imposed a blockade on ships coming from Saudi Arabia and have targeted several oil tankers since the blockade was announced in July, threatening the stability of the oil market and the continuity of navigation in the area.
