UAE rescues 22 people from burning cargo ship in Sea of Oman
What happened
The UAE National Guard said it rescued 22 people from a cargo ship that caught fire in the Sea of Oman.
All 22 are Arab nationals, according to the National Guard, which announced the rescue on Sunday.
On Saturday, U.S. Central Command said a U.S. military aircraft fired on and disabled the St. Kitts-flagged cargo ship M/V Huda in the Gulf of Oman.
Central Command said the ship tried to leave regional waters after visiting an Iranian port, in violation of the U.S. blockade of Iran.
The sources do not say whether the Huda is the ship the UAE crew was rescued from.
