US EditionU.K. Military: Crew Abandons Liberian-Flagged, Greek-Owned Ship Attacked in Red Sea
- Crew members abandoned the Liberian-flagged, Greek-owned bulk carrier Magic Seas after it was attacked and set ablaze near Yemen’s Al Hudaydah port on Sunday night.
- The attack followed a months-long Houthi campaign targeting shipping with missiles, drones, and unmanned bomb boats amid heightened Middle East tensions involving Israel and Iran.
- Approximately six small vessels equipped with rocket-propelled grenades and small firearms, which may have included drone boats, launched an attack on the Magic Seas roughly 51 nautical miles to the southwest of Hodeidah, resulting in the ship catching fire and taking on water.
- Yemen analyst Mohammad al-Basha interpreted the attack as a clear indication that the Houthis remain able and determined to target key maritime assets despite ongoing diplomatic efforts, while Yemen’s exiled government accused the group of carrying out the strike with backing from Iran.
- The incident raises concerns over security in this vital $1-trillion annual trade corridor, likely encouraging shippers to avoid the Red Sea and increasing risks of greater U.S. and Western involvement.
