Jin10 reported on July 7 that the Houthi armed group in Yemen claimed responsibility for an attack on a ship crossing the Red Sea on Sunday, marking their first attack on a merchant vessel since December last year. Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree said in a television statement on Monday that drones and missiles were launched at the “Magic Seas” ship, which is under Greek Stem Shipping. The Houthis later claimed that the ship had sunk. The organization stated that the vessel became a target for the attack because it had previously docked at Israeli ports. The Houthis began attacking merchant vessels at the end of 2023, leading to a sharp decline in the number of ships passing through the Suez Canal. In May this year, Trump stated that a ceasefire agreement had been reached with the Houthis.
