Tensions escalated in the Red Sea on Monday with a new attack on a ship, raising security concerns in the vital maritime corridor.
According to the private security firm Ambrey, the incident involved a Liberian-flagged bulk carrier that was disabled in the attack. Two security guards were injured, and two others went missing as small boats and drones were involved in the assault.
Although no group has claimed responsibility, suspicions are directed at Yemen's Houthi rebels, especially after they claimed responsibility for a previous attack that reportedly sank another vessel the day before.
