Houthi militants who are in harmony with Iran Yemen claimed to be responsible on Monday with drone and missile attacks on bulk carriers operated by Greece in the Red Sea, said the ship sank.
Sunday attack on Southwest Yemen was the first incident reported in the vital shipping corridor since mid -April. The attack involved shots and grenades with rocket launch of eight boats and missiles and four surface ships that were not worked on.
19 The crew and three armed guards were forced to leave the Liberian -flagged sea, who took water. They were picked up by ships that passed and arrived at Djibouti, a source close to the operation said.
But Michael Bodouroglou, a Stem delivery representative, one of the commercial managers of the ship, said there was no independent verification that the ship had sank.
The crew had reported a fire on the Forepeak Ship, on the bow. Engine room and at least two flood detention, and there is no electricity.
The European Union Operation Aspides, was assigned to help defend the delivery of the red sea against Houthi attacks, warned the risk of explosion around the ship.
Since the Israeli war in Gaza against the Palestinian Militant Hamas group began in October 2023, Houthi has attacked Israel and ships in the Red Sea in what they say is the act of solidarity with Palestine.
Israel has reached the Houthi target in response, launching an attack on Monday for the first time in almost a month. AS-Houthi ceasefire agreement in May was not included in Israel.
The Magic Sea brings iron and fertilizer from China to Türkiye, a trip that looks low because it has nothing to do with Israel, said Bodouroglou, added that the delivery of STEM did not receive the warning of the attack.
But the Allseas Marine fleet, another Magic sea commercial manager, has made a call to the Port of Israel for the past year, according to an analysis by the British maritime risk management company, Vanguard Tech.
“These factors put the magic sea at extreme risk being targeted,” said Ellie Shapik, head of intelligence with Vanguard Tech.
John Xylas, chairman of the intercargo of the Dry Julk Delivery Association, said the crew were “innocent people, only doing their work, maintaining global trade continues to move”.
“No one in the sea must face such violence,” he said.
