00:00 In the volatile waters off the coast of Yemen's port city in Hodeida, a Marshall Islands-flagged
00:08 liquefied petroleum gas, which is LPG tanker, encountered a harrowing ordeal.
00:14 British security firm Ambre reported two explosions near the vessel, marking the third attack
00:20 on Merchant vessels in just 48 hours.
00:24 The tanker, once US-owned, faced the latest incident as it transversed the Red Sea, highlighting
00:30 the growing dangers in the region.
00:32 The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKTMO) received reports of another explosion
00:38 near a Merchant vessel's starboard beam, further escalating the concerns.
00:43 Iran-aligned Houthi militants in Yemen have been launching drones and missiles targeting
00:49 international commercial shipping in a show of solidarity with Palestinians.
00:54 These attacks have disrupted global shipping, forcing vessels to take longer and costlier
01:00 routes around Africa's southern end.
01:04 In response, the United States and Britain have carried out strikes against Houthi targets,
01:10 aiming to safeguard maritime security.
01:12 Late Thursday, the US military deported Houthi-fired missiles toward Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea,
01:18 prompting defensive actions to neutralise the threat.
01:22 As tensions escalate in the region, the safety of maritime navigation remains a paramount
01:28 concern for international authorities.
01:31 Early Friday, the US Central Command announced the destruction of nine anti-ship missiles
01:36 and two drones in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen.
