DUBAI: The European Union’s mission in the Red Sea said on Wednesday there was no oil spill in the waters near the Greek-flagged tanker hit by a fiery Houthi militant attack off Yemen’s coast.
The mission, called Aspides, added that the Sounion was still anchored and not drifting.
A US official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the ship was leaking an unidentified substance.
The Pentagon said on Tuesday that the tanker was still on fire in the Red Sea and appeared to be leaking oil.
