ALBAWABA- A wooden ship bound for the Socotra Archipelago ignited in flames at Mukalla Port. The vessel, laden with three cars and various materials, was on the verge of departing when the incident occurred.
While the fire caused material damage, there were fortunately no reported casualties or human losses, as per information from the "Sheba" agency.
The ship was promptly handled, and towed to the pier behind port control to prevent the fire from spreading to other vessels in the port.
The explosions on the ship resulted from gas and oxygen cylinders, with anticipated significant losses estimated at tens of millions of riyals, according to the same agency.
