Seven Pakistani sailors killed in Saudi missile attack in Yemen territory

At least seven Pakistani sailors including its captain were killed when a Saudi fighter jet hit their ship in Yemeni waters. Pro-Saudi sycophants in Pakistan are hiding the facts in a bid to keep Pakistani nation uninformed about who killed innocent Pakistanis.

However, human rights activist Ansar Burney confirmed that a fighter jet and not the pirates hit the cargo ship.
Motor vessel ‘Jouya 8’, a general cargo ship registered in Iran, was reportedly targeted off the Hodeidah coast when it was travelling from Dubai to Egypt. A crew of eight, all of Pakistani origin, were onboard under the command of Captain Syed Anisur Rehman.
“One sailor, identified as Kabir Khadim, survived somehow by jumping off the ship and swimming to the Hodeidah port,” Burney said, adding that he was hospitalized and is being given medical care in the same city.
Khadim is said to be a radio officer. In a video shared by the human rights activist, he is seen as narrating the incident to someone on phone. He says that a missile from a jet hit their ship after which it sank.
He says another sailor Suhail Ahmed’s body is also at the same hospital. However, Khadim was unsure about the fate of the rest of the crew. “I want to go home,” he says, asking the Pakistan Embassy in Yemen to make arrangements for him.
According to Yemen’s state-owned Saba news agency, a boat carrying 12 Pakistani sailors was hit in a Saudi air raid off Mukha coast in the Yemeni province of Taez on December 4. In this incident, six sailors were killed while as many others were still unaccounted for, the news agency reported.
Burney said since the incident was reported to him through his sources, he requested the Saudi, Iranian, Turkish and Russian governments to help find the missing sailors. He also appealed to Pakistan’s prime
The size of the ‘Jouya 8’ is said to be 57 metres in length and 10 metres in width, according to its available information on the internet with maritime dedicated websites. According to a sailor, Syed Aun Zaidi, a crew of maximum 12 to 15 people is usually hired for this size of ships.
