Yemen urged the United Nations Security Council to hold a special session to discuss an aging oil tanker that risks leaking and causing an environmental disaster.
The condition of the Safer Oil floating oil-storage and offloading vessel in the Red Sea is deteriorating and requires urgent inspection, Foreign Minister said, according to the government-controlled Saba news agency.
