Video released on Thursday (March 7) showed a UK-owned ship attacked by Houthi militants last month sinking in the Red Sea.The Belize-registered Rubymar is the first vessel lost since the Houthis began targeting commercial ships in November. Those drone and missile assaults have forced shipping firms to divert ships to the longer route around southern Africa, disrupting global trade by delaying deliveries and sending costs higher.The Rubymar went down in the southern Red Sea late on Friday (March 1) or early on Saturday (March 2), according to statements from the Yemen government and CENTCOM.The U.S. military previously said the Feb. 18 missile attack had significantly damaged the bulk vessel and caused an 18-mile (29-km) oil slick. The ship was carrying about 21,000 metric tons of fertilizer, CENTCOM said on Saturday.The Iran-aligned Houthis, who control the north of Yemen and other large centers, say their campaign is a show of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
