Yemen says gunmen seize oil tanker, heading to Somalia waters

Gunmen have hijacked an oil tanker off Yemen's coast and are steering it towards Somali waters. The Yemeni coastguard has deployed patrol boats to search for and track the hijacked tanker despite limited resources and exceptional circumstances in the country. Efforts are underway to recover the vessel and ensure the safety of its crew. The operation is being carried out in a region embroiled in a power struggle between government forces and Houthi rebels.
