The internationally recognized Yemeni government has warned of severe environmental damage in the Red Sea because of an oil-leaking ship. The Houthi group, which controls Yemen's most populated regions, attacked a cargo ship last week, causing it to take on water and leak oil. The ship is carrying approximately 22,000 tonnes of fertilizer and a large amount of fuel used for navigation. Once it sinks or runs aground, it will potentially impact the local marine environment. Authorities are taking every measure to deal with possible disasters. The Houthis have been attacking purported Israel-linked ships amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza, saying their attacks are in solidarity with the Palestinians in the besieged enclave.
