The Greek-flagged Bulker Sea Champion arrived in Aden after a mistaken missile strike by the Houthi militia in the Red Sea. The vessel, en route from Argentina to Aden, sustained minor damage but no crew injuries, reports The Print.
Cargo Discharge and Destination
Partial cargo discharge in Aden before heading to Hodeidah, controlled by the Houthis, was planned.
Houthis stated the attack was unintentional, according to port sources.
Response and Reaction
U.S. and British forces have retaliated against Houthi facilities but haven’t deterred attacks.
Despite Western actions, the Houthis continue targeting vessels with ties to the U.S., Britain, and Israel.
Concerns and Incidents
Despite no sunk ships or casualties, worries arise, especially following the attack on the Rubymar.
Rubymar incident prompts calls for prioritizing seafarers’ safety and a Gaza ceasefire to ensure Red Sea transit safety.
Security Measures and Escalating Risks
U.S. military observes new Houthi tactics, including no crew underwater vessel deployment.
Some ships divert around southern Africa to avoid the Red Sea, while others sail through under escort or suspend crossings.
International Response
France escorts its vessels through the Red Sea, and the EU launches a naval mission to safeguard navigation freedom, signaling increased international involvement in maritime security.
