A Singaporean-flagged cargo vessel sustained damage after being attacked by Yemen’s Houthi rebels in the Gulf of Aden on Friday. The ship was hit by two missiles on its port side, but was deemed seaworthy and all crew members were reported safe. The attack is the latest in a series of incidents in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, where Houthi militants have launched drone and missile strikes on shipping lanes in solidarity with Palestinians affected by Israel’s war in Gaza. The incident has sparked concerns about the safety of global trade, with ship owners being forced to avoid the Suez Canal trade shortcut.
