UK-owned ship hit by Houthis sinks off Yemen coast

Reports have emerged of a UK-owned ship being hit by Houthi rebels off the coast of Yemen, causing it to sink. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of international shipping routes in the region.

According to local sources, the ship was carrying a cargo of humanitarian aid and had been granted permission to dock in Yemen. However, it was targeted by Houthi rebels as it approached the port, leading to its sinking.

The UK government has condemned the attack and called for a full investigation into the incident. The Foreign Office has stated that they are working with authorities in Yemen to ensure the safety of all international vessels in the area.

This latest incident is just one of many in the ongoing conflict in Yemen, which has seen numerous attacks on shipping vessels in recent years. The international community has called for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in order to protect the safety and security of all those involved.

Our thoughts are with the crew of the ship and their families during this difficult time.
