UK-owned ship hit by Houthis sinks off Yemen coast

An UK-owned ship was hit by Houthi rebels off the coast of Yemen and has unfortunately sunk. The attack is said to have taken place in the Red Sea near the port city of Hodeidah.

The ship, which was carrying cargo destined for Yemen, was targeted by Houthi forces, leading to its sinking. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of shipping in the region and the potential impact on maritime trade.

The UK government has condemned the attack and called for an investigation into the incident. The Foreign Office stated that they are working with international partners to ensure that such reckless actions do not go unpunished.

The sinking of the UK-owned ship highlights the ongoing conflict in Yemen and the threat it poses to commercial ships operating in the region. It is yet another example of the need for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in order to ensure the safety of maritime trade in the Red Sea.
