Yemen's Houthi rebels have struck another vessel in the Red Sea, and this one is causing an environmental disaster. The cargo ship has caused an 18-mile oil slick in the ocean, and the 41,000 tons of fertilizer that it is carrying could soon worsen the situation. It is anchored but taking on water, and environmentalists are pushing to get the ship towed to a port in Djibouti or Yemen as soon as possible. In retaliation to the ongoing strikes, the US and UK launched a round of strikes into Yemen that hit multiple Houthi arsenals and bases, as well as one helicopter. The Houthi continue to launch strikes on vessels in the Red Sea, which are a threat to the global economy. The Suez Canal is one of the most important water routes in the world, and any ship passing through it is at risk from a Houthi attack. However, they have clearly stated that they will not stop until Israel stops its war against Palestine, which does not have an end in the near future.
