Houthi militants launched an attack on a Liberia-flagged cargo ship in the Red Sea, resulting in the crew abandoning ship. The Israeli air force responded by hitting several Houthi targets in Yemen. This marked the first significant attack in the Red Sea after an abstention in Houthi strikes, linked to pressures regarding the conflict in Gaza. The attacked ship was reportedly carrying cargo from China to Turkey, and all crew members were safely rescued after the incident.
Amid heightened tensions in the region, the Iranian-backed Houthi militants attacked and sank a cargo ship in the Red Sea, escalating conflicts tied to Israel's actions in Gaza.
The Israeli air force retaliated against Houthi targets in Yemen following the missile and drone attack on the Liberia-flagged cargo ship, marking the resumption of hostilities.
Reports indicated that Houthi rebels had attacked the Magic Seas vessel under the pretext of targeting ships associated with Israel, amidst ongoing maritime hostilities in the Red Sea.
The crew of the attacked cargo ship, carrying iron and fertilizer, was unharmed and successfully rescued by another merchant vessel after abandoning ship due to the attack.
