Emirates Cargo Plane Crashes in Hong Kong, 2 Dead

A cargo plane operated by Emirates skidded off a runway at Hong Kong International Airport and landed in the sea, killing two ground staff. The plane, a Boeing 747-481 cargo aircraft wet leased from Turkish carrier Act Airlines, was arriving from Dubai when it veered off the runway and collided with an airport patrol vehicle. The four crew members onboard survived the crash. Authorities have launched an investigation into the incident, which is one of Hong Kong's deadliest aviation incidents in years. The cause of the crash is still unknown, but officials have said that the plane did not send out a distress signal and that the patrol car was traveling on a road outside the runway's fencing at a safe distance. The incident has raised questions over the path taken by the plane upon landing.

A Cameroonian-flagged ship, the Falcon, caught fire in the Gulf of Aden off Yemen's coast after possibly being struck by a projectile. The incident has raised concerns due to the vessel being fully loaded with liquefied petroleum gas, posing a risk of explosion. The crew of 26, mostly Indian nationals, abandoned ship with one mariner missing and another likely still on board. The cause of the fire is disputed, with the British suggesting a projectile hit the ship, while the EU indicated it might have been an accident. The incident occurs amidst heightened tensions with Yemen's Houthi rebels attacking ships in the Red Sea corridor, though they have not claimed this attack. The Houthi campaign has resulted in significant disruption to shipping, with at least nine mariners killed and four ships sunk.
