"Escalating Houthi Attacks in Red Sea Threaten Environmental Disaster"
TL;DR Summary
The US military reported that a Houthi attack on a UK-owned ship in the Red Sea caused a 18-mile oil spill, with the vessel carrying over 41,000 tons of fertilizer. The Houthi rebels also had mobile anti-ship cruise missiles destroyed by US forces in Yemen. Major shipping companies are avoiding the Red Sea and Suez Canal due to the attacks, opting for the longer route around South Africa's Cape of Good Hope. EU foreign ministers approved a naval mission to protect the shipping lanes, and Germany is set to take part in the Red Sea naval mission.
