Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping cause potential ecological disaster with sunken UK-owned Rubymar.
Houthis' attacks on shipping in the Red Sea have led to environmental disasters. The sinking of the UK-owned Rubymar, carrying 21,000 metric tons of fertilizer, risks ecological damage similar to the 2020 Port of Beirut explosion. Salvage operations for the Rubymar and another abandoned vessel, True Confidence, are on hold until attacks on ships ease, as they are crucial for protecting marine life and coastal environments.
