It's called Sea Hero A cargo ship sails under the Greek flagNavigational and military sources said that the ship that was attacked in the Red Sea arrived at the port of Aden on Tuesday.
The US Army's Central Command said late Tuesday that On the 20th, he launched a ballistic missile at two ships To Sea Champion, a cargo ship owned by an American company. One of the missiles exploded near the ship and caused minor damage.
There is a very serious problem with the attack: The “Bahr Hero” ship was on its way to Yemen with a shipment of foodWhen the missile exploded next to him. The crew survived the attack unscathed, and only the ship's windows were shattered.
An already unpleasant situation is exacerbated by two factors: on the one hand, Sea Champion has delivered humanitarian aid to Yemen 11 times in the past five years, so It was a popular ship even in the 1920s.
On the other hand, the cargo ship's last stop was not the Yemeni government forces' capital, Aden, but rather the Houthi-controlled port of Al-Hadiya, where it planned to unload the majority of its cargo.
According to Housie sources, the ship was accidentally hit by a missile.
Since October last year, the Houthis have been saying that only ships heading to or destined for Israel are at risk in the Red Sea, and regardless, they have launched repeated attacks against shipments proven to have no connection to Jerusalem. They even fired on an Iranian ship earlier, regardless of the fact that Tehran is the separatists' biggest supporter.
