Jemen’s Iran-backed Houthis claimed responsibility for a double missile strike on a cargo ship in the Red Sea on Monday, the latest attack since November as it blockades the vital trade route.

The Houthis identified the vessel as the Star Iris. While the group’s military spokesman, Yahya Saree, stated that the ship was American, maritime-shipping trackers identified it as a Marshall Islands-flagged vessel, owned by a Greek company.

The British maritime security firm Ambrey disclosed that the vessel, reportedly heading toward Iran, was targeted by two separate missile attacks while navigating the Bab al-Mandab Strait. The vessel sustained damage to its starboard side as a result of the attacks, as confirmed by Ambrey.

The EU authorities have decided to launch a military operation against the Yemeni Houthis - DPA

Germany has already sent to the shores of Yemen the frigate "Hesse", on board of which there are about 250 soldiers of the Bundeswehr.

The Yemeni Houthis supported Hamas after the start of Israel's military operation. The Houthis began attacking merchant ships that pass through the Red Sea.

At the same time, the sea route through the Suez Canal and then through the Red Sea remains the shortest route between Asia and Europe for cargo ships.

Sest kui laevaliiklus hakkab käima ümber Aafrika, siis jah, Euroopas lähevad kaubad kallimaks (ei oska öelda kui palju), aga Egiptus jääb hulga vaesemaks, kui Suessi kanali läbipääsutasusid enam ei laekuks. Eelmise majandusaasta käive oli vist mingi 9,4 miljardit $?

Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen declare war against the United States and United Kingdom, pronouncing them "enemy states of Yemen.”
