"US Issues Warnings Over Houthis' Impact on Red Sea Shipping"
TL;DR
The US military has warned of an "environmental disaster" in the Red Sea after an attack by Yemen's Houthi rebels on a cargo ship caused an oil slick. The Iran-aligned group hit a UK-owned bulk carrier, prompting the crew to abandon the ship, which is now slowly taking on water. The US has confirmed "self-defense strikes" on Houthi-controlled positions in Yemen and expressed concern over the impact of the attacks on regional trade and the environment.
