Following a Houthi rebel attack on the Greek-owned and flagged oil tanker MV Sounion off the coast of Oman on August 21, international efforts are intensifying to prevent a major environmental catastrophe in the Red Sea. The tanker, carrying approximately one million barrels of oil, was abandoned by its crew due to the severity of the attack. This incident marks a significant escalation in the Houthi rebels' maritime aggression, coming six months after their first successful sinking of a ship in the region. The potential oil spill threatens severe environmental damage, prompting a swift international response to contain the situation and mitigate the risks to marine life and coastal ecosystems.
