A Norwegian-owned vessel, M/V Swan Atlantic, was attacked in the Red Sea on Monday, with U.S. officials attributing the strike to Houthi-controlled territory in Yemen. The attack is part of a series targeting ships in the region since the beginning of the Gaza war. Although there was no immediate claim of responsibility, the vessel was reportedly hit by multiple projectiles launched from Houthi-controlled areas. The ship's owner, Inventor Chemical Tankers, confirmed damage to the water tank but noted that all systems were operating normally. The Houthi forces have been attacking vessels in the Red Sea in protest of Israel's offensive in Gaza. The Suez Canal route is being avoided by major freight firms in response to these attacks. The Houthis have pledged to continue their assaults until Israel ceases its offensive.
