Ship sunk by Houthis threatens Red Sea environment, Yemen government and U.S military say | Oneindia

The U.S. military confirmed on Saturday that a UK-owned ship, attacked by Houthi militants last month, has sunk in the Red Sea.

This confirmation echoes concerns raised by Yemen's internationally recognized government regarding the hazardous fertiliser cargo aboard the vessel, posing a significant risk to marine life.

The Rubymar, registered in Belize, marks the first casualty since the Houthis commenced targeting commercial ships back in November.

These relentless drone and missile assaults have compelled shipping companies to reroute vessels through the longer route around southern Africa, disrupting global trade by causing delays in deliveries and escalating costs.
