Casualties

DateTypeDetails
18 Oct 2025FireVessel caught fire in the Gulf of Aden on Saturday following an onboard explosion, leaving two Indian seafarers missing and prompting an international rescue effort. The 1994-built 35,100 cu m Falcon, operated by India’s Tanker Expert Ship Management, was sailing west about 60 nautical miles south of Ahwar, Yemen, when it reported an explosion and issued a distress call. The Ukrainian master and 23 Indian crewmembers abandoned ship and were rescued by a nearby vessel, which was later escorted by the Hellenic Navy frigate HS Spetsai under the EU’s Operation Aspides, to Djibouti, where the crew were handed over to local authorities.
