Yemen’s Houthi rebels launched multiple missile attacks on a ship in the Red Sea, authorities have confirmed. The ship, however, was not hit during the attacks. The incident adds to the ongoing conflict between the Houthi rebels in Yemen and the Saudi-led coalition fighting against them. The rebels have been known to target ships and oil tankers in the region, causing concern for maritime security. The repeated missile attacks on the ship show the continued threat posed by the rebels in the region. The Saudi-led coalition has been working to protect ships and ensure safe passage through the Red Sea, a key maritime route for global trade. The latest attack highlights the challenges faced by the coalition in maintaining security in the region. The incident comes amidst escalating tensions in Yemen and a fragile ceasefire agreement that is currently in place. The international community has condemned the attacks and called for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Yemen. Efforts are being made to negotiate a lasting peace agreement and address the root causes of the conflict. The safety of ships passing through the Red Sea remains a top priority for authorities, and measures are being taken to prevent further attacks by Houthi rebels. The incident serves as a reminder of the volatility in the region and the need for continued vigilance in ensuring maritime security.
