In a troubling escalation of maritime security threats, a Liberian-flagged, Greek-owned ship came under heavy fire in the Red Sea off the coast of Yemen. The attack involved gunfire and rocket-propelled grenades launched from small boats, prompting the crew to abandon the vessel as it began taking on water. UK military and maritime agencies have reported multiple incidents in the region, suggesting a resurgence of aggression from Houthi rebels. This series of attacks raises concerns over shipping safety in the area, particularly as it follows the recent conclusion of a US-Houthi truce.
