Anti-ship missiles intercepted by US military as Yemen rebels attack Maltese cargo ship in Red Sea

 According to reports from the Greek maritime department, a Maltese-flagged cargo ship owned by a Greek company was hit by a missile in the Red Sea near Yemen on Tuesday (16th), but no one was injured. On the same day, the US military launched a new round of attacks against the Houthi rebels in Yemen, intercepting 4 anti-ship ballistic missiles launched by the rebels.

According to the Yemeni government, the Youth Movement recently launched a missile attack on a cargo ship in the Red Sea. In their statement, the Youth Movement stated that the crew of the cargo ship ignored repeated strong warnings from the navy and refused their calls, prompting them to take action against the ship. The Greek authorities stated that the Maltese cargo ship "Zografia" was traveling from Vietnam to Israel and was heading north towards the Suez Canal at the time. The ship was not carrying any cargo and had 24 crew members from Ukraine, the Philippines, and Georgia. It is reported that the ship continued its journey after the incident.

According to an anonymous American official, the missiles of the youth movement pose a serious threat to commercial ships and US Navy vessels, prompting the US to launch a defensive attack. This marks the third attack on the youth movement by the US in less than a week.

According to reports from Japanese media, as of Tuesday local time, the three major domestic shipping companies in Japan - Nippon Yusen, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, and Kawasaki Kisen - have decided to halt all vessel crossings through the Red Sea area.
