UK-registered cargo ship Rubymar sank in the Red Sea after being attacked by Houthi rebels, marking their first vessel sinking since targeting operations began.
A UK-registered cargo ship, Rubymar, has sunk in the Red Sea after being attacked by Houthi rebels in February. This marks the first ship to be sunk by the Iran-backed rebels in Yemen since they began targeting vessels in the Red Sea. The Rubymar was carrying fertilizers and experts warn that the sinking could cause an environmental catastrophe. The ship was hit by two missiles launched by Yemen-based Houthi rebels and took on water for days before it sank.
