India condemns sinking of cargo vessel in Red Sea

“We condemn the attack on the Indian flagged commercial vessel, MSV Faize Noore Oliya that sank in the Red Sea, off the coast of Yemen on August 4, 2026,” stated India’s Ministry of External Affairs.   “The continuing incidents of attacks on commercial shipping in the region are deeply worrisome. The targeting of commercial shipping in the region must end, and free and unimpeded navigation and commerce through the international waterways in the region, in keeping with international law, must be restored at the earliest.”

The Houthi in Yemen have launched a blockade of Saudi ports as part of their long running conflict with Saudi Arabia and are targeting ships in the Red Sea that have called at ports in the Kingdom.
