A drone launched from Iran attacked the Japanese-owned chemical tanker, Chem Pluto, in the Arabian Sea. The vessel, en route to Mumbai from Saudi Arabia, continues its journey under US military communication. The Indian Navy will inspect and sanitize the ship upon arrival in Mumbai. The incident raises concerns amid regional security challenges, including Houthi militia actions and piracy. The Iranian-backed Houthis, expressing solidarity with Hamas, contribute to the complex security landscape. This follows a series of recent incidents, including a suspected drone attack on an Israeli-owned cargo ship in the Indian Ocean.
