Ship loaded with gas ablaze off the coast of Yemen, vessel abandoned as 1 mariner missing A Cameroonian-flagged ship caught fire Saturday in the Gulf of Aden off Yemen after possibly being struck by a projectile, officials said, with at least one mariner missing and another still likely aboard the burning tanker after the rest of the crew abandoned the vessel.
