Sudden! Two more US and British ships were hit by missiles

Yahya stressed that Yemen will continue to block ships associated with Israel until Israel ceases its aggression against the Gaza Strip and lifts the siege. The spokesman emphasized that the ships hit were the US-operated ship "Star Nasia" flying the flag of the Marshall Islands and the British ship "Morning Tide" flying the flag of Barbados.

"Star Nasia": Greek shipping ministry officials said that at 1115 GMT on the 6th, the Greek ship "Star Nasia" managed by Star Bulk Carrier was damaged by an explosion, and the crew was not injured. The official added that it was unclear whether the explosion was caused by a mine or a missile.

In addition, UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) and British maritime security company Ambrey reported that a Greek-owned southbound bulk carrier was crossing the Maritime Security Transit Corridor approximately 53 nautical miles southwest of Aden near the Yemeni port of Aden on Tuesday. was attacked. According to tankertrackers, a maritime monitoring service company, the ship was responsible for transporting US coal to India.

Morning Tide: Ambrey further pointed out that another general cargo ship owned by a British company flying the Barbados flag was also attacked by a drone while crossing the Red Sea. Fortunately, all the people on board were safe. The ship quickly took evasive maneuvers and continued its voyage. The ship's owner, British Fuladino Shipping Company, told Reuters that the "Morning Tide" is currently sailing in good condition, but did not provide further details.

The Morning Tide was heading south across the Red Sea after sailing through the Suez Canal on Friday, according to ship tracking data. The latest positioning information shows that the ship has sailed out of the Red Sea through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported after midnight GMT on Tuesday that a missile hit the port side of a ship 57 nautical miles west of Hodeidah and that a small vessel was also spotted nearby. UKMTO added that although the missile crossed the deck and only caused minor damage to the bridge windows, the ship and crew remained safe and continued sailing as planned.

The attack in the Red Sea disrupted global shipping, forcing companies to opt for longer and more costly voyages around southern Africa, raising concerns that the war between Israel and Hamas could spread further to the wider Middle East. . In response to these attacks, the United States and Britain last month began strikes against Houthi rebel targets in Yemen.

Earlier, the Houthi armed forces stated that US and British warplanes launched another attack, and the northern Yemeni city of Saada was hit by at least three air strikes.
