A Russian cargo vessel, 'Ursa Major,' sank in the Mediterranean Sea between Spain and Algeria after an explosion in its engine room. While 14 of the 16 crew members were rescued and brought to Spain, two crew members remain missing.

Russian cargo ship 'Ursa Major' sinks in Mediterranean, two crew missing

The ship sank following an explosion in its engine room, but 14 of the 16 crew members were rescued and brought to Spain.

A Russian cargo ship called 'Ursa Major' sank in the Mediterranean Sea between Spain and Algeria and two of its crew are missing, the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday.
The ship went down after an explosion in its engine room and 14 of its 16 crew members have been rescued and brought to Spain, the ministry said in a statement.
Unverified video footage of the ship heavily listing to its starboard side with its bow much lower down in the water than usual was filmed on Dec. 23 by a passing ship and published on Russia's life.ru news outlet on Tuesday.
LSEG ship tracking data shows the vessel departed from the Russian port of Saint Petersburg on Dec. 11 and was last seen sending a signal at 2204 GMT on Monday between Algeria and Spain.
On leaving Saint Petersburg it had indicated that its next port of call was the Russian port of Vladivostok, not the Syrian port of Tartous which it has called at previously.
The operator and owner is a company called SK-Yug, part of Oboronlogistics, according to LSEG data. Oboronlogistics and SK-Yug declined to comment on the ship's sinking.
Oboronlogistics said in a statement on Dec. 20 that the ship was carrying specialised port cranes due to be installed at the port of Vladivostok as well as parts for new ice-breakers.
Two giant cranes could be seen strapped to the deck in the unverified video footage.

The missiles fired by the Houthis in the Gulf of Aden on Thursday set a Palau-flagged cargo ship named Islander on fire and injured one of the sailors.

Houthi rebel attack sets cargo ship ablaze, rebel leader touts 'pressure tactic' 

The missiles fired by the Houthis in the Gulf of Aden on Thursday set a Palau-flagged cargo ship named Islander on fire and injured one of the sailors.

Yemen's Houthi rebels launched attacks Thursday on both Israel and a ship travelling through the Gulf of Aden, setting the vessel ablaze and again demonstrating their ability to launch assaults despite facing US-led airstrikes targeting their forces.
The rebels' supreme leader, Abdul Malik al-Houthi, announced an &ldquo;the escalation in sea operations&rdquo; conducted by his forces as part of what they describe a pressure campaign to end Israel's war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip. But the Houthis' targets have grown more random since their attacks began in November, endangering a vital waterway for cargo and energy shipments travelling from Asia and the Middle East onward to Europe.
The attack Thursday in the Gulf of Aden saw two missiles fired at a Palau-flagged cargo ship named Islander, the US military's Central Command said. A European naval force in the region described the attack as sparking a fire and wounding one sailor on board the vessel, though the ship is continuing on its way.
The Islander had been coming from Thailand bound for Egypt and previously sent out messages saying &ldquo;SYRIAN CREW ON BOARD&rdquo; to potentially avoid being targeted by the Houthis. Other vessels similarly have sent messages identifying their crews as Muslims or not affiliated with Israel to try and avoid rebel attacks.
Meanwhile, sirens sounded early Thursday morning over the southern Israeli port of Eilat, followed by videos posted online of what appeared to be an interception in the sky overhead.
The Israeli military later said the interception was carried out by its Arrow missile defense system.
Israel did not identify what the fire was, nor where it came from. However, the Arrow system intercepts long-range ballistic missiles with a warhead designed to destroy targets while they are in space.
The system &ldquo;successfully intercepted a launch which was identified in the area of the Red Sea and was en route to Israel,&rdquo; the Israeli military said. &ldquo;The target did not cross into Israeli territory and did not pose a threat to civilians.&rdquo;
Eilat, on the Red Sea, is a key port city of Israel. On Oct 31, Houthis first claimed a missile-and-drone barrage targeting the city. The rebels have claimed other attacks targeting Eilat, which have caused no damage in the city.
Houthi Brig Gen Yahya Saree claimed the attacks in a statement late Thursday night.
The Houthis &ldquo;persist in upholding their religious, moral and humanitarian duties towards the Palestinian people and in defense of their beloved Yemen in the face of American-British aggression,&rdquo; Saree said in a prerecorded statement. &ldquo;Military operations will not stop unless the aggression stops and the siege on the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip is lifted.&rdquo; Saree also claimed a drone attack on a US warship in the region. Central Command said it and an allied warship shot down six Houthi drones in the Red Sea. France's military claimed downing two of the Houthi drones.
Since November, the rebels have repeatedly targeted ships in the Red Sea and surrounding waters over the Israel-Hamas war. Those vessels have included at least one with cargo for Iran, the Houthis' main benefactor, and an aid ship later bound for Houthi-controlled territory.
Despite a month of US-led airstrikes, Houthi rebels remain capable of launching significant attacks. This week, they severely damaged a ship in a crucial strait and downed an American drone worth tens of millions of dollars. The Houthis insist their attacks will continue until Israel stops its combat operations in the Gaza Strip, which have enraged the wider Arab world and seen the Houthis gain international recognition.

Al-Houthi, the rebels' leader, gave a televised speech in which he described an escalation in their attacks.
"Missiles, drones and military boats have been activated, and submarine weapons have been introduced into our operations at sea, which is worrying to the enemy,&rdquo; he said. Central Command in recent days acknowledged destroying an underwater bomb-carrying Houthi drone.
Al-Houthi also denied his forces were allowing some vessels pass through the waterways by Yemen unharmed after paying protection money.
&ldquo;The enemy failed in the face of our operations at sea," he said. &ldquo;He was not able to prevent them, nor was he able to deter them, nor was he able to limit or reduce them.&rdquo; The Houthis, a Zaydi Shiite group, seized Yemen's capital in 2014 and have battled a Saudi-led coalition since 2015. Their Zaydi people ran a 1,000-year kingdom in Yemen up until 1962.
The US State Department has criticised &ldquo;the reckless and indiscriminate attacks on civilian cargo ships by the Houthis&rdquo; that have delayed humanitarian aid including food and medicine bound for Ethiopia, Sudan and Yemen. That includes the Sea Champion, a ship carrying corn and other aid to both Aden and Hodeida that was recently targeted.
&ldquo;Contrary to what the Houthis may attempt to claim, their attacks do nothing to help the Palestinians,&rdquo; State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said in a statement. &ldquo;Their actions are not bringing a single morsel of assistance or food to the Palestinian people.&rdquo;

As the Russia-Ukraine war reaches its 100th day, is another war about to break out in Europe? Russia's invasion of Ukraine might have shocked the world, but members of the anti-Russia NATO alliance are yet to put their differences behind.
Tension is continuing to rise between Greece and Turkey - neighbours and members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. Both countries are now flexing their military muscle, leading to worries that a fresh conflict might be on the cards.
The latest flashpoint occurred over Turkey and close ally Azerbaijan's military exercise. In the drills, the two forces reportedly simulated an attack on Greek islands. Pronews said that the scenario included training for going behind enemy lines through the sea, and attacking coastal military installations. Turkish fighter jets also flew in Greek airspace, as per reports.

The bone of contention is mainly a maritime territory dispute. Ankara and Athens have overlapping Exclusive Economic Zone, or EEZ claims in the eastern Mediterranean. This impacts their energy exploration rights.
The other points of tension include Turkey's demand for demilitarisation of Greek islands. Meanwhile, Athens accuses Ankara of regular airspace violations. Greece is also expanding its steel wall along the border with Turkey amid tension over movement of refugees and migrants.
The tension has led to an arms race between the two nations. Greece is buying Rafale fighter jets, and Belharra navy frigates from France. Athens also in talks with USA's Lockheed Martin for F-35 fighter jets. Meanwhile, the US govt is pushing the Congress to sell F-16 fighter jets to the Turkish Air Force. Ankara is also trying to convince America to revive the F-35 deal which was cancelled as penalty for buying the Russian S-400 missile system.
With tension rising, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan cancelled diplomatic engagements with Greece, days after saying Mitsotakis "doesn't exist" for him. Recep Tayyip Erdogan said, "I told my foreign minister yesterday, and we broke off our high-level strategy council meetings with Greece. Don't you (Greece) learn any lessons from history? Where were you (Greece) in the past, and where are you (Greece) now? Then you (Greece) start crying and whining. Don't try to dance with Turkey."
During the World Economic Forum in Davos, the Greek Prime Minister had issued a warning to Turkey. Kyriakos Mitsotakis said, "if (Turkish) President (Recep Tayyip) Erdogan thinks that I will not defend, you know, the sovereignty and the sovereign rights of Greece, and I will not make the case to the international audience that Turkey is behaving as a revisionist power, then he's wrong."
The Greece-Turkey tension is creating wider fault-lines within the NATO. Germany appealed to Turkey to "refrain from provocations" against NATO allies. Turkey called the statement "biased" and inconsistent with the "spirit of the alliance".
Now, all eyes are on senior partners in the alliance like the US, to see how a larger conflict is avoided.

US to mediate Israel, Lebanon sea border talks

Lebanon's parliament speaker confirmed Thursday that an agreement has been reached on a framework of indirect talks between Lebanon and Israel over a longstanding disputed maritime border between the two countries.
Israel announced the talks last week, saying Israeli Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz will lead the Israeli delegation.
Thursday's declaration by Speaker Nabih Berri is the first confirmation by Lebanon that the negotiations will take place.
Israel and Lebanon have no diplomatic relations and are technically in a state of war.
They each claim about 860 square kilometres (330 square miles) of the Mediterranean Sea as within their own exclusive economic zones.
Berri said the U.S.-mediated talks will be held at the headquarters of the U.N. peacekeeping force in the southern border town of Naqoura under the banner of the United Nations. He did not give a start date for the talks.
The United States has been mediating between Lebanon and Israel since 2010 until a breakthrough was reached in July on the framework for the indirect talks, Berri said.
The agreement on the framework comes as Lebanon is going through its worst economic and financial crisis in decades.
Beirut is hoping that oil and natural gas discoveries in its territorial waters will help it pay back its massive debt.
Lebanon began offshore drilling earlier this year and is expected to start drilling for gas in the disputed area with Israel before in the coming months.
