A British-registered cargo ship, the Rubymar, a Lebanese-managed bulk carrier with the identification number 9138898, was targeted by Yemen's Houthi forces with missiles four days ago in the Gulf of Aden. Despite claims by the Houthis that they had sunk the vessel, it has been confirmed to be damaged and listing but remains afloat. It was hit by two missiles and is currently taking in water but has been towed to the port of Djibouti. The ship is still at risk of sinking, and there are concerns about leaking fuel oil. The incident has raised questions about the security of shipping lanes in the Red Sea and the potential environmental impact.
