New attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels on cargo ships in the Red Sea have raised fears of a renewed campaign targeting a key maritime route for international trade.

Yemen’s President Rashad Al-Alimi has issued a chilling warning to global shipping companies: any vessel linked to Israel or its war on Gaza will be considered a legitimate target. This declaration follows a deadly Houthi sea drone and speedboat attack that killed three crew members aboard the Liberian-flagged MV Eternity C in the Red Sea.
