"Red Sea Tensions: British Ship Survives Attack, Abandoned Vessel's Fate Unknown"

The British ship Rubymar, which was attacked in the Red Sea by Houthi fighters, has been damaged but has not sunk, contrary to Houthi claims. Images obtained by the BBC show the vessel afloat but down by the stern. The ship's owner stated that it is being towed to Djibouti, but its salvageability remains uncertain. The attacks on ships in the Red Sea have continued despite US and UK strikes on the Houthis in Yemen, prompting many shipping companies to avoid the critical waterway. The UK government has condemned the Houthi actions as "completely unacceptable" and reserves the right to respond appropriately.
