UK-owned ship hit by Houthis sinks off Yemen coast

According to reports, a UK-owned ship was hit by Houthi rebels off the coast of Yemen, causing it to sink. The incident is said to have occurred in the Red Sea, near the port city of Hodeidah.

The ship was believed to be carrying humanitarian aid to Yemen at the time of the attack. This is yet another concerning development in the ongoing conflict in Yemen, between the Saudi-led coalition and the Houthi rebels.

The UK government has condemned the attack and called for an immediate ceasefire to allow for the delivery of much-needed aid to the people of Yemen. The situation in the country remains dire, with millions of people facing food insecurity and a lack of access to essential services.

It is essential for all parties involved in the conflict to prioritize the well-being of civilians and allow for the delivery of humanitarian aid without obstruction. The sinking of the UK-owned ship is a stark reminder of the human cost of the ongoing conflict in Yemen.
