Oil tanker burns after Yemen rebels' attack in Red Sea

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - Fires broke out Friday on a Greek-flagged oil tanker that was attacked by Yemen's Houthi rebels this week, with the vessel now appearing to be adrift in the Red Sea, authorities said.

It wasn't immediately clear what happened to the oil tanker Sounion, which was abandoned by its crew Thursday and reportedly anchored in place.

The Houthis didn't immediately acknowledge the fire.
