Houthi attack off the coast of Aden

A sailor on the Minervagracht has died

by Port News Editorial Staff

One of the members of the crew on  the Minervagracht, a merchant ship  which was probably attacked by the Houthis on 29th September 128 nautical miles off the coast of Aden, Yemen, has died from his injuries.

It was believed to be the explosion of an unidentified device that severely damaged the vessel, which went  adrift with its deck on fire.

Two crew members had sustained injuries and were admitted to hospital in Djibouti. One of them did not survive. The other is to return home at the end of the week.
