Yemen's Supreme Political Council “announced the freeing of the crew of the Galaxy Leader, who were arrested on November 19, 2023."
It said the move came “in support of the ceasefire" that took hold in Gaza on Sunday.
The crew is comprised of 25 nationals from Bulgaria, Ukraine, the Philippines, Mexico and Romania.
The Bahamas-flagged cargo ship was seized by Ansarullah fighters, who targeted ships either owned by the Israeli regime or sailing toward Israeli ports in a strong gesture sympathetic to Palestinians in Gaza.
The Ansarullah resistance group launched more than 100 attacks on commercial and military vessels in the Red Sea, along with some in the Mediterranean.
