Houthis intensivieren Attacken im Roten Meer

Während in Morden Israels die Hizbollah ihre Raketen- und Drohnenangriffe auf Israel eskaliert, greifen die Houthis wieder vermehrt Schiffe im Roten Meer an.

In den letzten Tagen kam es wieder vermehrt zu Angriffen auf zivile Schiffe im Roten Meer durch die mit dem Iran verbündeten Houthi Milizen. Gestern wurde dabei ein Seemann schwer verletzt:

A sailor was severely wounded after a cargo ship in the Gulf of Aden was hit by two cruise missiles fired by Yemen's Houthi rebels on Thursday.

The MV Verbena, a Palauan-flagged, Ukrainian-owned, Polish-operated cargo ship reported that it had been damaged, with the crew fighting fires on board.

The vessel was en route to Italy carrying wood used in construction, the US Central Command said.

Aircraft from USS Philippine Sea missile cruiser evacuated the injured sailor to another ship for treatment, it said.

“This continued reckless behaviour by the Iranian-backed Houthis threatens regional stability and endangers the lives of mariners across the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden,” the Central Command said.
