3rd January 2022
On Monday a United Arab Emirates-flagged cargo ship has been highjacked by Iran-aligned Houthis off Yemen’s coast in the Red Sea, according to statements by the Saudi coalition.
The vessel was taken near the western Yemeni port of Hodeidah, accused by the Houthi military which controls much of the country’s north of conducting “hostile actions” as it “entered Yemeni waters without authorization” overnight.
