Ship attacked in Red Sea off Yemen with gunfire, rocket-propelled grenades, UK maritime agency says

  • Crew members abandoned the Greek-owned Liberian-flagged bulk carrier Magic Seas after it caught fire in a series of attacks in the Red Sea near Yemen's Al Hudaydah port on Sunday night.
  • The attacks followed ongoing Houthi missile and drone assaults targeting over 100 merchant vessels to pressure Israel amid its campaign against Hamas in Gaza, with suspicion falling on the Houthis.
  • The assault involved small arms fire, rocket-propelled grenades, and likely bomb-carrying drone boats, while a passing vessel rescued all crew and the ship continues abandoned.
  • Mohammad al-Basha said the attack sends a message that Houthis maintain strike capabilities irrespective of diplomacy, while Moammar al-Eryani accused them as an Iranian proxy undermining regional stability.
  • This incident intensifies regional tensions amid a possible Israel-Hamas ceasefire and Iran's nuclear talks, underscoring the Houthis' ongoing threat to Red Sea shipping and potential wider conflict involvement.
