Linda Thomas-Greenfield says “brazen” Houthi attacks have left a Greek-flagged oil tanker in flames in the Red Sea, threatening “to create an ecological disaster with devastating consequences”.
She called on the UN Security Council, which has previously demanded the Houthis stop their attacks, to condemn the new assault.
As we reported earlier, the Sounion’s 25 crew members were rescued by an EU warship on Thursday, a day after the Houthi attack set the oil tanker on fire.
The ship is reportedly carrying 150,000 metric tonnes of crude oil.
