"Naval Support Rushed to Trafigura Tanker After Houthi Attack Ignites Blaze"

Warships have arrived to assist the UK-owned tanker Marlin Luanda, chartered to Trafigura, after it was hit by a Houthi missile in the Gulf of Aden, causing a fire. The safety of the crew is the top priority, and firefighting equipment is being used to control the fire in one cargo tank. The UK Maritime Trade Operations confirmed the attack and stated that coalition warships are providing support. This incident follows a near miss involving another tanker earlier in the day, and comes amid heightened tensions between the Houthis and the US and UK.
