Full story

An oil tanker continues to burn in the Red Sea days after it was set ablaze by Houthi rebels. New photos released on Sunday, Aug. 25, show flames spilling from the hull of the Greek-flagged vessel, but there are no signs of an oil spill yet.

There is still a significant environmental hazard, with 150,000 tons of crude oil aboard. The crew abandoned the vessel on Thursday, Aug. 22.

Yemen’s Houthi rebels have persisted for months in their disruption of the vital Red Sea trade route. The sea handles $1 trillion in goods annually.

British and U.S. forces have been working to stop Houthi drone and missile attacks. Analysts say they are unlikely to stop until there is a cease-fire in Gaza.

If an oil spill does occur, it has to the potential to be one of the largest from a ship in recorded history.
