Yacht Guards Mistakenly Fire at Yemen Coast Guard in 'Incident'
Armed security guards on a yacht once owned by Richard Burton opened fire on the Yemeni Coast Guard after mistaking them for pirates. The incident occurred in the Gulf of Aden after the Coast Guard approached the boat, which hadn’t responded to radio calls. The Coast Guard returned fire and followed the yacht for an hour until communications could be established and the misunderstanding resolved. It’s unclear if anyone was hurt. The Kalizma was bought by Burton in 1967 and was more recently owned by Indian investor Shirish Saraf.
