While details remain limited, the UKMTO reported that the vessel sustained damage but was still afloat. It is currently unclear who was responsible for the attack, but suspicion may fall on Houthi rebels, who have previously targeted vessels in the area as part of their conflict with the Saudi-led coalition.
The Red Sea is a vital route for global trade, connecting Europe and Asia via the Suez Canal. Any disruptions in this region can cause delays, increase shipping costs, and raise concerns about the safety of commercial operations.
Authorities are monitoring the situation closely, and further investigations are underway to determine the cause and perpetrators of the attack.
