'MSC Sky II' Container Ship Sails to Djibouti After Houthi Missile Attack

The container ship MSC Sky II was hit by a missile near Yemen's Aden port while en route to Djibouti, but no crew were injured and the small fire caused by the missile has been extinguished. The ship is continuing its journey for further assessment. Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto attributed the attack to Yemeni Houthi forces, who have escalated their strikes since November, targeting commercial ships in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. The shipping industry sources warn that all ships are at risk, despite the Houthis' stated intention to target vessels with links to the UK, US, and Israel.

"Israeli Drone Strike Targets Hamas Leader in Beirut Amid Escalating Tensions"

Yemen's Houthi rebels launched two anti-ship ballistic missiles into the Red Sea, with no reported damage but raising concerns over maritime trade route security. Meanwhile, tensions in the Middle East escalated as a US official confirmed Israel's responsibility for a strike in Beirut that killed senior Hamas leader Saleh Al-Arouri, though Israel has not claimed the attack. This event has heightened fears of a wider regional conflict, with France's President Macron urging Israel to avoid escalation, especially in Lebanon. The ongoing war has resulted in a significant Palestinian death toll and has sparked international discussions on the future governance of Gaza, with controversial statements from Israeli officials about resettling Gazans drawing US criticism.
