Two crew members were injured and two others reported that the missing after the Greek managed, Liberián-Lukaled cargo ship came under the Red Sea attack on Monday, July 7. The incident followed before an earlier attack on the magical sea, which Houth Insurgents claimed to sank. Renewed attacks meant since April the first main attacks Houthi on transport in a vital business corridor.
The security company Ambrey confirmed the first attack and noted that the vessel came under fire from small ships and drones transmitting bomb. “The engines of the vessel were reportedly deactivated and Ambrey noted that the vessel began to be carried away,” the company said.
Magic Sea descends after drone attack and missiles
On Sunday, the Magic Seas cargo ship was attacked southwest of Hodeida in Yemen. The attack included drones, rockets, rockets extended by grenades and shooting from eight small ships. The 22-member crew was forced to leave the ship and was later rescued by another vessel, according to British maritime trade operations (UKMTO) and Atalant Operation.
Brig. Gene. Yahya Saree, a spokesman for Military Houthi, claimed responsibility for the attack and said:
“Our operations continue to focus on the depths of the Israeli subject in the occupied Palestine and also prevent Israeli naval navigation in the Red and Arab Sea … Until the aggression in Gaza stops and the siege does not rise.”
Israel starts strikes at Yemen’s Houthi Rebels
The Israeli army launched air strikes early on Mondays focused on ports and infrastructure dominated by Yemen’s Houth Rebel, hours after the Iranian group attacked and eventually sank the Liberal-Vojezí Magic Sea in the Red Sea.
The Israeli army said it was hit by the ports in Hodeida, Ras ISA, Salif and the Ras Kanatib power plant. In his statement, Houthis accused the use of equipment to smuggle weapons from Iran and coordinate attacks against Israel.
The escalation monitors the months of tension in the region, where Houthis has repeatedly targeted commercial transport in what he claims to be a retaliation for the Israeli war against Hamas in Gaza.
Israel promises more strokes if attacks persist
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz released a strict warning and said, “What applies to Iran is true for Yemen. Anyone who raised his hand against Israel will cut it off. Houthis will continue to pay a heavy price for his actions.”
Houthis Fire Ratkets in Retaliation
After the Israeli strikes, Houthis launched missiles and drones in Israel. The Israeli army tried to capture projectiles, but said it seemed to have an impact without causing injury.
Houthi campaign on the transport of the Red Sea
Since November 2023, Houthis has launched more than 100 attacks on trade ships on the protest of the Israeli offensive in Gaza. These attacks sank two ships and killed four sailors. After a break on attacks on the US strike campaign in March, Houthi’s attacks have largely stopped until the restoration of violence this week.
While the Red Sea shop slightly reflected, this new wave of violence could again disrupt the route that $ 1 trillion in goods passes every year.
