Tensions in the Red Sea have exploded after an Israeli drone strike targeted a Pakistani-crewed LPG tanker on September 17. The massive blast endangered the 27-member crew, but quick action prevented disaster. Reports confirm that Houthi boats seized the damaged ship, holding the crew hostage for days before a multinational rescue effort freed them. The strike comes just days after Pakistan signed a NATO-style defense pact with Saudi Arabia, providing indirect nuclear cover against Israel. Analysts warn this attack could spark a dangerous new front in Middle East tensions.
