Crew battle blaze on tanker hit by missile in Gulf of Aden

"Firefighting equipment on board is being deployed to suppress and control the fire caused in one cargo tank on the starboard side," Trafigura said in a statement, adding it was in contact with the petroleum products tanker. The U.S. military said earlier that a U.S. Navy ship and other vessels were providing assistance after the Marlin Luanda was hit by a Houthi anti-ship missile.
