一艘法国海军驱逐舰营救了被胡塞武装袭击的希腊油轮Sounion号上的29名船员，该油轮在红海多次遭到袭击。

这艘船遭到了轻武器和炮弹的攻击，法国海军还在行动中摧毁了一艘携带炸弹的无人机。

该油轮停泊在红海，由于其15万吨货物油，构成了航行和环境风险。

由德尔塔油轮运营的Sounion在袭击发生前没有要求护航。法国海军在接近漂流油轮时发现另一次袭击后进行了干预，并拦截了这艘装满***的无人驾驶船。

该船已经被多枚射弹击中，导致机舱起火，随后进水和发生电气故障。

获救的25名菲律宾人、俄罗斯人和4名私人安保人员已被送往吉布提。一名船员受轻伤。

欧盟的Aspides行动表示，Sounion的大火已被扑灭，但由于其危险货物，该船仍然构成高风险。

胡塞叛军声称对Sounion号的袭击负责，并报告称该船有沉没的风险。

为了应对不断升级的紧张局势，美国军方加强了在该地区的存在，部署了更多的航空母舰和战斗机。

美国“林肯”号航空母舰战斗群和“乔治亚”号导弹潜艇已经部署到中东，并正在实施其他措施来应对胡塞武装袭击构成的威胁。

英国海上贸易行动处对附近的小船发出了警告。尽管德尔塔油轮多次遭到袭击，但在事件发生前，Sounion并没有寻求欧盟的保护。

英文原文

A French Navy destroyer rescues 29 mariners aboard the Houthi-hit Greek oil tanker Sounion repeatedly attacked in the Red Sea.



The vessel was under attack by small arms fire and projectiles, and the French Navy also neutralized a bomb-carrying drone boat during the operation.



The tanker is anchored in the Red Sea, posing a navigational and environmental risk due to its 1,50,000 tonnes of cargo oil.



The Sounion, operated by Delta Tankers, didn’t ask for an escort before the attacks.  The French Navy intervened after detecting another attack while approaching the drifting tanker and intercepted the unmanned drone boat loaded with explosives.



The ship had already been hit with multiple projectiles, resulting in a fire in the engine room and subsequent water intake and electrical failures.





The rescued crew of 25 Filipinos, Russians, and four private security personnel has been transported to Djibouti.  One crew member suffered a minor injury.



The European Union’s Operation Aspides stated that the Sounion’s fire had been extinguished, but the vessel continues to pose a high risk due to its hazardous cargo.



The Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for the attack on the Sounion, reporting that the ship was at risk of sinking.



In response to the escalating tensions, the United States military has strengthened its presence in the region, deploying additional aircraft carriers and fighter jets.



The USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group and the USS Georgia-guided missile submarine have been deployed to the Middle East, and other measures are being implemented to counter the threat posed by Houthi attacks.



The UK Maritime Trade Operations issued a warning about the presence of small boats nearby.  Despite repeated attacks on Delta Tankers vessels, the Sounion did not seek EU protection before the incident.
