Tensions in the Red Sea escalated dramatically as Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels targeted the Panama-flagged bulk carrier Anadolu S with two missile strikes in a matter of hours.
The first attack occurred late Sunday night, narrowly missing the vessel's stern.
Despite warnings, the ship continued its course, prompting a second strike the following day, landing just a nautical mile away.
While no casualties or damage were reported, the incident highlights the Houthis' growing maritime campaign, which they claim is in solidarity with Gaza.
The Bahrain-based Combined Task Force confirmed the strikes, raising concerns over shipping safety in the region.
This bold assault underscores the escalating risks for international vessels navigating the Red Sea amid intensifying regional tensions.
