Yemen’s Houthi militants continued to attack a commercial ship in the Red Sea, causing significant damage and loss of propulsion.
The attacked vessel, Eternity C, was carrying grains to Somalia for the World Food Programme and was targeted because it had previously visited Israeli ports.
The attacks by the Houthis on commercial ships have escalated, leading to fears among crews navigating the Red Sea due to the ongoing conflict in the region.
The continuous attacks on commercial ships by the Houthis may impact shipping patterns, increase insurance costs, and deter vessels from using the Suez Canal.
