The towing operation for the Greek-flagged tanker "Sounion" is set to commence today as it continues to burn in the Red Sea following attacks by the Houthis. Satellite images have revealed pollution in the area, and while a temporary ceasefire was suggested, the Houthis clarified they would only allow the towing operation to proceed.
The operation to tow the Greek-flagged tanker "Sounion," which continues to burn in the Red Sea, is expected to start today, according to Reuters. Satellite images have already shown pollution in the sea area where the ship is anchored.
Houthi Foreign Minister Jamal Amer announced via Facebook that the towing operation is set to begin today, Sunday. The "Sounion" was repeatedly attacked by the Houthis on August 21 with drones and missiles near the port of Hodeidah, which is under the control of the Yemeni rebels.
The Houthis had proposed a temporary ceasefire to allow the tanker to be moved to a safe port to prevent an ecological disaster, as informed by Iran's diplomatic mission to the UN on Wednesday. However, a spokesperson clarified that no ceasefire will be declared, but the towing operation will be allowed to proceed.
