The hijacked ship Galaxy Leader, whose crew includes two Bulgarians, is in the Yemeni port of Hodeidah, announced its owners from the company Galaxy Maritime, quoted by Reuters. According to their information, the vessel was diverted to the coast of Yemen after it was illegally boarded by military personnel via a helicopter. All communications were subsequently lost with the vessel.

Galaxy Leader was hijacked by Yemen’s Houthi, who control the capital Sanaa and support the Palestinian group Hamas. The Isle of Man-based company that owns the ship is part of a business empire of an Israeli billionaire.
