An oil tanker in the Red Sea that was struck by Houthi militants was towed to a safe area after almost four weeks.
The Greek-flagged ship Sounion, laden with 1 million barrels of Iraqi crude, was towed without any oil spill, the European Union naval force in the region said Monday on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. The task force will continue to monitor the situation as private stakeholders complete the salvage operation.
