A Greek cargo ship registered in Libya named "Magic Seas" sank after taking on water as a result of an attack in the Red Sea.
TARGETED BY GUNFIRE AND ROCKETS FROM EIGHT SMALL BOATS
In statements from a UK-based shipping company and a security firm, it was stated, "The ship was attacked while sailing 51 nautical miles off the southwestern coast of Yemen. It was first targeted by gunfire and rockets from eight small boats, and the security on board returned fire. Additionally, unmanned maritime vehicles were used in the attack, two of which hit the port side of the ship, causing a fire and damage to the cargo on board."
NO CASUALTIES
While security companies stated that there were no casualties or injuries among the ship's crew, there has been no statement yet from the operating company. No party has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.
TRUMP HAD SAID THAT SEA ROUTES WOULD NOT BE ATTACKED
Last May, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that an agreement had been reached with the Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen and that sea routes in the Middle East would no longer be attacked. According to the agreement, neither the U.S. nor the Houthis would target each other in the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, thus ensuring the freedom of navigation and the uninterrupted flow of international commercial maritime traffic.
However, last month the Houthis warned the U.S. that if it participated in Israel's attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities, their ships would be targeted.
