🇺🇸 🇾🇪 the Houthis of Yemen claimed responsibility for a Sunday attack on a ship crossing the Red Sea, marking their first attack on a merchant vessel since last December. The Houthi spokesperson, Yahya Saree, stated Monday in a televised statement that drones and missiles were launched against the ship "Magic Seas" belonging to Stem Shipping in Greece. The Houthis later claimed that the ship had sunk. The organization asserted that the ship was targeted due to its previous dockings at an Israeli port. The Houthis began attacking merchant ships in late 2023, leading to a significant reduction in the number of ships passing through the Suez Canal. In May of this year, Trump stated he had reached a ceasefire agreement with the Houthis.
