Red Sea tanker fire put out after Houthi missile attack

A fire on board a tanker in the Gulf of Aden has now been put out with all crew on the vessel reported to be safe. The fire started following a missile strike claimed by Houthi rebels. The United States says it has destroyed another Houthi anti-ship missile aimed at the Red Sea. The US strike came just hours after Houthi rebels based in Yemen attacked the Marlin Luanda. The tanker was being operated on behalf of trading firm Trafigura which has confirmed the vessel is heading towards safety.
