"Fresh Attacks: Ships Damaged and Crew Abandoned Off Yemen's Coast"
A merchant vessel suffered damage offshore Yemen, days after a Houthi-struck ship sank in the Red Sea. The UK Maritime Trade Operations reported the incident, with the vessel being assisted by international coalition forces. Houthi militants have been targeting passing vessels in the Red Sea, leading to disruptions in global seaborne transit and damage to critical submarine cables. The attacks have prompted shipping firms and oil companies to suspend or redirect voyages in the region.
