Second Red Sea ship attacked off Yemen after Houthis claim assault on Greek bulk carrier

Two crew members were injured and two were missing after a commercial vessel was attacked on Monday night off the coast of Yemen’s Hodeidah, maritime monitors reported, marking the second Red Sea attack in 24 hours following a period of relative calm. The Houthi rebels in Yemen had earlier claimed responsibility for an attack on Sunday when a Greek-operated bulk carrier was hit by gunfire, drones and missiles in the Red Sea. UK-based security firm Ambrey said on Monday a “Liberia-flagged bulk carrier was approached and attacked by two skiffs and unmanned aerial vehicles while transiting northbound in the Red Sea”.
