Ships under missile attack in Red Sea

International Desk: A ship has been attacked again in the Red Sea. It is believed that Yemen-based Houthi rebels are behind this attack. News - On Good Friday (March 15), the UK military said the ship was damaged by a missile attack near the Yemeni port of Hodeidah.

However, the ship's crew is safe and the ship has not deviated from its course. The Houthi rebels have not yet claimed responsibility for the attack. However, after such an attack, they usually take a few hours to claim responsibility. The Houthis began attacking ships in the Red Sea in November last year.

First, Israel-bound cargo ship 'Galaxy Leader' was seized. The British-owned ship, operated by Japan, was later taken to the Yemeni port of Hodeidah and its crew taken hostage. Since this attack, the Houthis have targeted more than 40 ships in the Red Sea alone. They claim that they are carrying out these attacks to force Israel to stop attacking Gaza.
