Yemen's Houthi group attack vessel in Red Sea

Yemen's Houthi group, Ansarullah, attacked a ship in the Red Sea, Al Jazeera reported on Tuesday.

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) received a report earlier on Tuesday about an incident occurring approximately 50 nautical miles west of Hodeidah, Yemen, in the Red Sea.

Yemen's Houthi group, supported by Iran, has intensified its assaults on commercial ships in the Red Sea as a form of protest against Israel's military actions in Gaza. As a result, several shipping companies have halted their Red Sea operations, opting for lengthier routes around Africa.
