A Greek-owned, Marshall Islands-flagged bulk carrier named Laax was struck by three missiles fired by Yemen's Houthi rebels while sailing in the Red Sea. The vessel, which was carrying a cargo of grain bound for Iran, sustained damage and is making its way to port. The attack is part of a series of missile strikes by the Houthis, who have demonstrated their capability to target ships connected with Israel. The incident has prompted retaliatory strikes by Israeli forces on vessels associated with the Houthis. Security sources and French naval forces have confirmed the attack. The Laax was en route from South America via Greece and Turkey.
