"Concerns Rise Over Royal Navy's Land Target Defense Capability"
The British oil tanker Marlin Luanda was struck by a Yemeni missile in the Gulf of Aden, sparking a fire and forcing the evacuation of its crew. The US, Indian, and French naval ships rushed to assist, bringing fire-fighting foam supplies to extinguish the blaze. Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for the attack, targeting ships they claim are affiliated with Israel in solidarity with Palestine. The incident has raised concerns about global trade and shipping routes, with some companies rerouting vessels to avoid the threat posed by the Houthi rebels in Yemen.
