The British freight ship sank in the Red Sea after the Hussite attack

According to the UK Maritime Commercial Operations Service (UKMTO), the attack occurred in the Babel-Mandab Strait, 35 nautical miles south of al-Mukha, Yemen. The attack occurred on Sunday evening, later the ship was identified as Rubymar. The crew of a cargo vessel registered in Britain is 171. 6 meters long and 27 meters wide was forced to "leave the ship" after the attack. On the eve of UKMTO, they stated that the entire crew is safe and the authorities were investigating.

The ship is the first vessel completely destroyed during the current Middle East crisis. An internationally recognized government of Yemen, as well as a regional military official, confirmed that the ship was sank. The official spoke on the conditions of anonymity because the information was not approved for publication. Bairut could not be contacted with Rubymar manager to get comments.

The Yemen's Government in exile, which has been supported by the Coalition, headed by Saudi Arabia since 2015, said Rubimar had sunk on Friday night, when a storm began in the Red Sea. The ship drifted 12 days after the attack, it was planned to towns up to a safe port. Iran Husita, who claimed that the ship had sank almost immediately after the attack, did not immediately admit that the ship had sank. Already, many ships have been rolled off the route.

Flooding Rubimar can lead to the search for bypass and increase insurance rates for water -operating vessels, which will potentially lead to the increase in global inflation and affect the supply of humanitarian aid to the region. Earlier, US troops struck and destroyed the Hussite Land-Borings in Yemen on Friday, deciding that it was a "direct threat" to American aircraft, declared the US Central Command in the Middle East.

Supported by Iran Huts, who control most of the war of Yemen, from November attacked the vessels in the Red Sea as part of a campaign, which, according to them, is carried out in solidarity with Palestinians in Gas in a war between Israel and Hamas. The United States heads the Navy to protect vessels on a vital water path, and strikes air strikes in Hussites, both independently and with the United Kingdom.

On Friday evening, the anti -ship rocket was launched into the Red Sea, but no vessels were injured. According to a joint statement, last weekend forces of the United States and the United Kingdom struck 18 Hussites in eight places of Yemen, in particular in weapons, percussion, airborne systems, air defense systems, radar complexes and helicopters. Houses stated that as a result of the attack, one person was killed and eight were injured.

The Yemeni Hurvits, among others, attacked a ship that went to Iran, as well as a humanitarian aid vessel. Ahmed Avad Bin Mubarak, Prime Minister of the International Recognized Government of Yemen, called the flooding of the Rubimar ship with an unprecedented environmental disaster. "This is a new catastrophe for our country and our people. Every day we pay for the crimes of Hussites, who have not stopped on the fact that Yemen was thrown into the state coup and a war," Mubarak said.

Huts have held the capital of Yemen San since 2014, expelled the government. Since 2015, she has struggled with a coalition led by Saudi Arabia, in a dead end war. Earlier, the German frigate "Hessen", stationed in the Red Sea to protect the international navigation, first reflected the attack of Yemeni Hussites. Hessen previously went from Wilhelmshafen to the combat area in order to start performing the operation immediately after the Bundestag decision.
