All 19 crew members have since been evacuated to safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The European Union\u2019s Naval Force (<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/EUNAVFORASPIDES\">EUNAVFOR<\/a>) said the MV Minervagracht was struck on Monday at 10:22 UTC, about 128 nautical miles southeast of Aden, Yemen. The ship had not requested naval protection at the time of the incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EUNAVFOR said the vessel caught fire and was left adrift, prompting a distress call from the master.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll 19 crew members were rescued, including two who were injured,\u201d EUNAVFOR said. \u201cOne remains in stable condition, while another seriously wounded crew member was evacuated to Djibouti.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The vessel\u2019s operator, Amsterdam-based Spliethoff, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spliethoff.com\/news\/updated-statement-mv-minervagracht\/\">confirmed<\/a> the attack and said the ship sustained \u201cconsiderable damage\u201d and is experiencing a fire. The company said the ship, which was sailing eastbound from Djibouti without cargo, was struck by \u201can unidentified explosive device.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTwo of our valued seafarers suffered injuries and are currently receiving medical attention,\u201d Spliethoff said. The company added that it is engaging with authorities and thanked nearby vessels for assisting with the evacuation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Houthis claimed responsibility for the strike. A spokesman for the group\u2019s armed forces said a cruise missile was used to target the Minervagracht in the Gulf of Aden, alleging the ship\u2019s owner violated a ban on entry to Israeli ports. The group said the vessel caught fire and was at risk of sinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Houthis have repeatedly targeted commercial shipping, claiming the attacks are in response to Israel\u2019s military actions in Gaza. Naval forces from the European Union, United States, and other countries have been deployed to protect vessels transiting the region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Dutch-operated cargo ship came under attack in the Gulf of Aden, leaving the vessel on fire and causing injuries to its crew, according to European naval forces, the vessel\u2019s operator, and a statement from Yemen\u2019s Houthis.
