A UK-owned cargo ship faced a harrowing ordeal in the Red Sea when the Iranian-backed Houthis launched two anti-ship ballistic missiles at the vessel. The crew was forced to abandon ship after one of the missiles struck the cargo ship directly, causing significant damage.
This attack occurred shortly after the United States conducted five self-defense strikes against the terror group, including targeting an undersea drone. The timing of these events has raised concerns about escalating tensions in the region.
