Merchant ship with ties to Israel attacked by drone in Arabian Sea

A merchant ship with ties to Israel was attacked by a drone in the Arabian Sea off India’s coast on the weekend. The attack caused parts of the tanker to erupt in flames. The fire was later extinguished without any injuries. The chemical products tanker had been carrying crude oil from Saudi Arabia. The incident follows drone and missile attacks in the Red Sea by the Iran-backed Houthi Rebels who say they are supporting Palestine.
