The Maersk Gibraltar ship was hit by a missile attack by the Houthis while en route to Saudi Arabia.

The world’s largest container shipping operator, Danish AP Moller-Maersk, has decided to suspend transportation in the Red Sea amid attacks by Yemen’s Houthis. Reuters reported this yesterday.

“Following yesterday’s incident involving the Maersk Gibraltar and another attack on a container ship today, we have ordered all Maersk ships in the area that must pass through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait to suspend their voyages until further notice,” the statement said. .

The company said on Thursday that its ship Maersk Gibraltar was hit by a missile while en route to Saudi Arabia.

And on Friday, Maersk denied the Houthis’ claim that they had attacked a ship bound for Israel. The militants, for their part, claimed to have carried out an operation against a container ship, where they allegedly struck it with a drone. However, they did not provide any evidence for their words.

“Recent attacks on commercial vessels in the area are alarming and pose a serious threat to the safety of seafarers,” it added.

A day before it became known that the Houthis attacked the cargo ship Al Jasrah under the flag of Liberia in the Red Sea. The ship caught fire after it was hit by a shell.

A few days ago, the Houthis launched a cruise missile at the Norwegian tanker Strinda. The ship was badly damaged.
