"UK-Owned Rubymar Ship Sinks in Red Sea After Houthi Attack"

A ship attacked by Yemen's Houthi rebels, carrying fertilizer and previously leaked fuel, has sunk in the Red Sea, potentially causing ecological damage and disrupting traffic in the crucial waterway. The sinking could lead to higher insurance rates for vessels, affecting global inflation and aid shipments to the region. The Houthis have targeted ships in the Red Sea over the Israel-Hamas war, and despite U.S.-led airstrikes, they remain capable of launching significant attacks. The sinking of the Rubymar is seen as an unprecedented environmental disaster, with concerns raised about the release of fertilizer into the Red Sea and its impact on marine ecosystems.
