Yemen's Houthi rebels attacked so strongly that the ship sank in the sea. Officials gave information about this on Saturday. Yemen's Houthi rebels are continuously targeting commercial ships in the sea in protest against Israeli attacks on Gaza. In the latest attack, Britain's Rubymar ship was completely destroyed and sank in the sea. Due to the attack by Houthis, the supply chain from West Asia to Europe has been disrupted. Due to fear of attack, many merchant ships have changed their route. 

The Belize-flagged ship Rubymar was targeted by Houthi rebels on February 18. This ship was targeted by Houthis through ballistic missile in the Bab-al-Mandev Strait. The government of Yemen has confirmed this attack. The British Army's United Maritime Trade and Operations Centre has also confirmed the sinking of this ship on Saturday. 

Ship sunk in attack for the first time

Yemen's Houthi rebels are continuously targeting ships in the sea in protest against the Gaza attacks. However, this is the first time that a ship has been completely destroyed and sunk in the sea. This fighting has intensified after America and Britain targeted Houthi positions in Yemen. Meanwhile, Houthis have also kidnapped many ships.
