A PRIVATE yacht with three Russians and two Egyptians on board has been reported missing in the Red Sea near the coast of Yemen for several days by its owner and the Russian embassy in Saudi Arabia.
It was not immediately clear what had happened to the pleasure yacht named 30 Minutes which its owner said was heading to Djibouti to be sent onwards by ship to Dubai.
The ship, which its owner said was registered in Panama, was not fitted with the standard AIS ship tracking system which shipping data trackers use.
Several vessels have been attacked in recent years off the coast of Yemen which has been torn apart by an eight-year conflict.
