British maritime security company Ambrey said the rocket caused physical damage to the ship and started a fire. Accordingly, the Liberian-flagged container ship was attacked while sailing in the Bab al-Mandab Strait in the Red Sea, causing a fire on the deck. It was also shared that a container fell from the ship into the water after the attack. The attack was carried out with a missile launched 50 nautical miles north of Yemen's Mokha Port in the Red Sea.
“ The Houthis in Yemen announced in a statement yesterday evening that they carried out a military operation against a container ship en route to Israel and targeted it with an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). In a written statement on the Houthis' Telegram account, it was stated that the Houthi naval forces carried out a military operation on a container ship sailing to Israel and that the ship was directly targeted and hit by a drone.
According to AA, the operation took place after the ship's crew refused to respond to the calls of the Houthi naval forces, pointing out that the passage of many ships bound for Israel has been blocked in the last 48 hours. ”
The statement referred to Israel's attacks on Gaza and said that "the operation on the ship was a victory against the persecution of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, who are subjected to massacre, destruction and siege" and reiterated that all ships sailing to Israeli ports will continue to be prevented from sailing in the Arabian Sea and the Red Sea until the food and medicine needed by Palestinians enter the Gaza Strip.
