On Tuesday, August 1, the Indian Minister of Shipping announced that a projectile struck an Indian-flagged ship near Yemen, causing it to capsize and sink.

Sarbananda Sonowal wrote in a message on X that all 14 crew members on board, including 13 Indian nationals, were rescued by the Yemeni Coast Guard and transferred to the port of Mokha.

The Indian Ministry of External Affairs also stated that the commercial vessel named "MSV Faiz Noor Aliya" sank on August 1 in the Red Sea off the coast of Yemen, and the ministry is coordinating with Yemeni authorities regarding this incident.

Indian refineries have turned to receiving oil shipments from the Middle East on a delivered basis since the Houthi attacks on several Saudi oil tankers.

Navigation in the Red Sea near the Yemeni coast has been disrupted due to actions by the Tehran-aligned Houthis. By disrupting Saudi oil exports, the Houthis have expanded the scope of the conflict between the U.S. and Iran. Previously, oil supply through the Strait of Hormuz had also been disrupted.
