A second merchant ship has been attacked by men launching five rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) from small boats in the Red Sea.

For 2nd time in 2 days, a merchant vessel was attacked by Houthi terrorists in small vessels using RPGs near Hodeidah.

The Yemen-based armed group the Houthis began targeting vessels in the Red Sea shortly after Israel’s war on Gaza began in October 2023, which the Houthis say is in defence of the Palestinians living in the besieged enclave.
