The UAE announced that the Safeen Prism vessel, operated by AD Ports Group, responded to a distress call from the commercial ship Magic Seas after it came under attack in the Red Sea.
The attack caused damage to the vessel’s structure, forcing its crew to abandon ship under difficult maritime conditions.
In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) confirmed that the UAE’s response operation successfully rescued all 22 individuals aboard the vessel, including crew and security personnel.
