A ship was attacked off the coast of Yemen in the Red Sea near Hodeida. Suspicions fell on Yemen's Houthi rebels, though no group claimed responsibility.
A ship came under attack Tuesday in the Red Sea off the coast of Yemen, with a private security firm saying radio traffic suggested the vessel took on water after being struck. No group immediately claimed responsibility, but suspicion immediately fell on Yemen's Houthi rebels, who have launched a number of attacks targeting ships over Israel's war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
The private security firm Ambrey said the vessel reported by radio of having 'sustained damage to the cargo hold and was taking on water.' It said it had been targeted in a missile attack. The location of the attack corresponded to the Marshall Islands-flagged bulk carrier Laax. The vessel reported being heading to Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates. The Laax is managed by the Grehel Ship Management of Piraeus, Greece.
Shipping through the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden has declined because of the threat. In recent weeks, the tempo of Houthi attacks has dropped, though the rebels have claimed shooting down U.S. surveillance drones. Yemen has been wracked by conflict since the rebels seized the capital, Sanaa, in 2014.
