A Marshall Islands-flagged tanker, hit by a missile from Yemen’s Houthi rebels, had a fire extinguished by the crew using a firefighting system. The tanker carried Russian-produced naphtha, sparking environmental concerns. The Red Sea crisis, fueled by the Houthi attacks, led to U.S. strikes on Houthi anti-ship missiles and international calls for calm in a key trade route. The incident also involved a suspected Somali pirate attack on a vessel in the Arabian Sea.
