UK foreign minister: If Red Sea attacks do not stop, international action will be taken

British Foreign Secretary David Cameron said on Thursday that if attacks continue in Red Sea shipping lanes, international action will be taken, according to Reuters.

When asked, Cameron declined to specify what action Britain would take.

"This is illegal. It's not to do with Gaza, it's not to do with Israel. This is about the freedom of navigation. This is about the ability of ships to carry their cargo," he told reporters during a trip to Kosovo.

"The world economy, every economy, will suffer if ships keep coming under attack in this illegal and unacceptable way. And these attacks need to stop or actions will be taken."
