(Reuters) – The Greek-flagged ship Sounion has been on fire since August 23 after an attack by Yemen’s Houthis, EU Red Sea naval mission Aspides said in a post on X on Monday.

Aspides added that so far there are no obvious signs of an oil spill.

The EU mission published photos dated yesterday showing fire and smoke coming out of the vessel’s main deck.
