UAE rescues crew of British ship attacked in Red Sea

The UAE has successfully carried out a maritime rescue operation in the Red Sea.

The vessel 'Safeen Prism', operated by AD Ports Group, responded to a distress call from the British-flagged ship 'Magic Seas' after it came under attack and was forced to evacuate.

All 22 people on board, including crew and security staff, were safely rescued.

The operation was carried out in coordination with UK Maritime Trade Operations and other international bodies, following strict safety protocols.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says the operation reflects the UAE’s strong commitment to maritime safety and humanitarian support in strategic waterways.
