Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - International Service: According to initial reports, the attack resulted in casualties among the ship's crew.
According to news sources, ships passing through the region have been advised to exercise caution and report any suspicious activity. The attack comes as Yemeni armed forces have carried out widespread attacks on ships linked to Saudi Arabia in recent days and intensified the naval blockade against the country.
It is worth noting that tensions in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait have increased sharply following the announcement of a naval blockade by Yemeni forces against Saudi ships and reciprocal attacks by Saudi Arabia and Yemen. So far, no group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
