A Portuguese-flagged container ship was hit by a drone in the far reaches of the Arabian Sea, corresponding with a claim by Yemen's Houthi rebels that they assaulted the ship there, authorities said on Tuesday. The attack on the ship, MSC Orion, occurred some 600 kilometres off the coast of Yemen and appeared to be the first confirmed deep-sea assault claimed by the Houthis since they began targeting ships in November. It suggests the Houthis — or potentially their main benefactor, Iran — might be able to strike deep into the Indian Ocean. The attack happened last Friday, according to the Join...

A drone launched from an area in Yemen controlled by Houthi rebels was intercepted by the EU's mission in the Red Sea on Thursday morning, according to a top military officer. The unmanned aerial device was shot down by a frigate that’s part of an EU mission in the Middle Eastern waterway to protect merchant shipping. Austrian General Robert Brieger, who is chair of the EU’s military committee, said it was crucial for the bloc to “conserve resources” in the long run because the threat posed by Houthi attacks “will not disappear” due to its connection to the Israel-Hamas war. “The task given to...

Reports say a ship near the strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait may have witnessed an explosion in the distance on Wednesday, possibly signalling a new attack by Yemen's Houthi rebels. The strait between Djibouti and Eritrea in the Horn of Africa and Yemen connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden in the Indian Ocean and is a crucial waterway for international trade and aid. The explosion comes after a relative lull from the Houthis, who have launched dozens of attacks on shipping in the region over Israel's ongoing war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The Houthis did not immediately claim responsibility...

So far, eleven Houthi attacks have been repelled and 16 ships escorted across the Red Sea by EU vessels. This is the first assessment of Operation 'Aspides', launched less than two months ago to protect trade in the Suez Canal. Since the Israel-Hamas war began, Houthi rebels have launched 80 attacks on merchant ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden - some of them with casualties. The Iran-backed rebel group considers Israel an enemy, carrying out the offensive in response to the war. Because of the attacks, merchant ships are taking 10-14 more days to reach Europe and doubling costs to do so. ...

Two decades ago, on March 11, 2004, Europe was shaken by what is still one of the deadliest terror attacks on its soil. The Madrid train bombings, which claimed the lives of 191 people and injured over 2,000 others, left an indelible mark on Spain and the global community. As we mark the anniversary of this tragic event, it is evident that despite significant advances in counter-terrorism capabilities, the challenges posed by Islamist extremism and terrorism remain as complex and formidable as ever. The intervening years have seen a string of horrific attacks hit Europe, from the 7/7 Undergrou...

The attack on Friday targeted the bulk carrier Propel Fortune, which continued on its way, according to the United States military's Central Command. “The missiles did not impact the vessel,” the US military said. “There were no injuries or damages reported.” The Houthis said on Saturday they were behind th...

Two aerial photos released by the US military showe...

Warnings have been issued that the sinking of the Rubymar, which carried oil and 22,000 tons of fertilizer, could cause ecological damage to the Red Sea and its coral reefs. The British-owned cargo vessel that was attacked by Houthi militants last month sunk on Saturday, after taking on water for days. It is the first vessel to be fully destroyed by the Yemeni rebel group, which has vowed to attack vessels over Israel's catastrophic war in Gaza. At risk from the toxic substances on the ship are a bustling fishing industry, some of the world's largest coral reefs and desalination plants supplyi...

A ship attacked by Yemen's Houthi rebels has sunk in the Red Sea after days of taking on water, officials said Saturday. It is the first vessel to be fully destroyed as part of their campaign over Israel's war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. The sinking of the Rubymar comes as shipping through the crucial waterway for cargo and energy shipments moving from Asia and the Middle East to Europe has been affected by the Houthi attacks. Already, many ships have turned away from the route. The sinking could see further detours and higher insurance rates put on vessels plying the waterway — potential...
