Houthis Sink Greek Bulk Carrier off Yemen
(Reuters) Renee Maltezou - Yemen's Houthis claimed responsibility on Monday for a drone and missile attack on a Greek-operated bulk carrier in the Red Sea on Sunday, saying the ship had sunk. The attack was the first such incident since mid-April. The raid involved gunfire and rocket-propelled grenades from eight skiffs as well as missiles and four uncrewed surface vessels. The 19 crew and three armed guards were forced to abandon the Liberian-flagged Magic Seas, which was carrying iron and fertilizer from China to Turkey, having nothing to do with Israel.
