A container ship belonging to the German shipping company
Hapag-Lloyd was attacked in the Red Sea on Friday, in an area where
attacks have been launched by Yemen's Houthi rebels.
"We confirm that today our 15,000 TEU vessel Al Jasrah, sailing
in the MD2 service, has been attacked close to the coast of Yemen,"
a spokesman for Hapag-Lloyd said. The ship was travelling from the
Greek port of Piraeus to Singapore and is now continuing toward its
destination, he said.
No one was injured and the company said it would take additional
measures to secure the safety of its crew.
Yemen's Houthi forces have attacked several commercial ships
crossing through the Bab el-Mandeb strait in recent days, creating
a new front in the battle between Israel and Hamas and complicating
efforts by the U.S. and its allies to secure the critical shipping
lane.
