Battle of Kunfuda Bay

7–8 January 1912, Kunfuda Bay, Red Sea coast of Arabia

Italian victory

Part of the Italian squadron guarding Eritrea found an Ottoman flotilla in Kunfuda Bay. In about three hours, three gunboats were sunk and three ran aground to avoid sinking; the Italians destroyed those the next morning. The tug Muha was sunk and the yacht Şipka was later raised and taken into Italian service.
