Recently, the Houthis attacked the container ship Al Jasrah, owned by the German shipping company Hapag-Lloyd. The incident occurred in the Red Sea off the coast of Yemen, MarketWatch reports.

The Al Jasrah, a 15 TEU vessel operating on the MD000 service, was attacked while sailing from the Greek port of Piraeus to Singapore. According to a company representative, none of the crew were injured as a result of the attack, and the container ship continues to move towards its destination. In response to the incident, Hapag-Lloyd announced its intention to take additional measures to ensure the safety of its crew.

The attack was part of a series of attacks by Yemen's Houthis on commercial shipping in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait over the past two days. These actions complicate the situation in the region, creating a new front in the conflict between Israel and Hamas and complicating efforts by the United States and its allies to secure a critical shipping route.

The Houthis' activities, including missile and drone strikes against American and Israeli targets, make them an unpredictable and dangerous force in the Middle East. There is concern that this Islamic group could provoke a conflict that will go beyond the regional level.
