A rescue mission was underway Monday for an oil tanker still ablaze after being attacked by Houthi rebels off the coast of Yemen last month, according to US Central Command. The Greek-flagged oil tanker Sounion was hit by the Huthis off the coast of Hodeida on August 21 while carrying 150,000 metric tons of crude oil. In a post on X, CENTCOM said «salvage efforts are underway» in the southern Red Sea for the disabled vessel, «which is still on fire and threatens the possibility of a major environmental disaster.» The Iran-backed rebels said they had booby-trapped and detonated charges on the ship. CENTCOM condemned such Huthi attacks as «reckless» and promised to «continue to work with international partners and allies» to protect trade and mitigate environmental impacts in the region. The European Union's Red Sea naval mission, Aspides, said earlier in the day that it would «provide protection to the tug boats, that will deal with the salvage operation and facilitate their efforts to prevent an environmental disaster,» according to a post on X. «Several fires continue to burn on the vessel's main deck,» the mission added, noting that there were «no visible signs of an oil spill.» The Sounion's crew, made up of 23 Filipinos and two Russians, was rescued the day after the attack by a French frigate serving with Aspides. The EU naval force was formed in February to protect merchant vessels in the Red Sea from attacks by the Huthi rebels, who have waged a campaign against international shipping that they say is intended to show solidarity with Palestinian group Hamas in its war with Israel in the Gaza Strip. According to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) agency, two other ships were struck in attacks off the coast of Yemen on Monday. CENTCOM reported the two ships were both crude oil tankers, one flagged by Panama and the other flagged by Saudi Arabia, with the latter vessel carrying approximately two million barrels of crude oil. © Agence France-Presse
An attempted jail break at the Democratic Republic of Congo's largest and chronically overcrowded prison this week has left at least 129 people dead, the interior minister said Tuesday. The circumstances around the bid to bust out of Makala prison in the capital Kinshasa in the early hours of Monday remain unclear. But Interior Minister Jacquemain Shabani in a statement released by video to the media on Tuesday announced a provisional death toll of 129 people. They included «24 who were shot after warnings», he said. At least 59 others had been wounded and were receiving care, he added. Witnesses told AFP that they had heard gunfire at around 2:00 am on Monday and that it lasted for several hours in the area of the prison, a popular and residential neighbourhood. Daddi Soso, an electrician in his 40s, said he had seen security force vehicles taking bodies away in the early hours. On Monday, police had cordoned off the streets leading to the prison, AFP journalists at the scene saw. The interior minister said many people had been crushed or suffocated and that a number of women had been raped. He gave no details on their identities. - 'Under control' - The authorities have given no indication as to how many inmates escaped or attempted to do so. On Monday morning, government spokesman Patrick Muyaya said only that the security services were at the scene and he called on residents to «not panic». A few hours later, he told national television the situation was «under control». Justice Minister Constant Mutamba later announced on X that inquiries were under way «to identify and severely punish the sponsors of these acts of sabotage». Makala prison, the biggest in the vast central African nation, has capacity for 1,500 inmates. But it is highly overcrowded and rights organisations regularly complain about the conditions of detention at the jail. With between 14,000 and 15,000 prisoners, it holds around 10 times the number it is meant to house, according to official statistics. As well as the human toll, the escape attempt caused damage to buildings. A part of the prison, mainly that housing the administrative offices, was set on fire, the government said. The prison was already badly damaged during an attack by armed men in 2017, which led to more than 4,000 prisoners escaping, some of them described as «dangerous» by police. The circumstances leading to that large prison escape were never made clear despite the establishment of a commission of inquiry. © Agence France-Presse
