Part 7/11:
The Red Sea security situation remains tense as a British-flagged cargo vessel, the Ruby Mure, has sunk following an attack attributed to Iran-backed Houthi rebels. The ship, which was damaged in an earlier strike in February, finally succumbed after weeks of taking on water. The vessel was carrying approximately 41,000 tons of ammonium phosphate fertilizer from Saudi Arabia to Bulgaria—a cargo that now poses an environmental threat due to potential oil spills and toxic runoff.
