Salvagers Attempt to Tow Tanker Damaged by Houthi Rebels

Salvage crews are making another attempt to tow a damaged oil tanker off the coast of Yemen

It is filled with 1.1 million barrels of oil, and if it were to rupture, it could cause an environmental disaster. The tanker has been damaged by Houthi rebels, and previous attempts to tow it have failed. However, salvage crews are now making another attempt to tow the tanker to a safe location. The operation is being led by the UN, and it is expected to take several weeks. If successful, it will be a major victory for the UN and for the people of Yemen.
