A crew in the Red Sea was forced to abandon ship after it was hit by Yemen’s Houthi rebels on Sunday, the first attack of its kind since President Trump announced a truce in May after he said the group promised to stop attacking Middle Eastern waterways.

The Yemen-based Houthi rebels launched their first attack on a commercial shipping vessel transiting the Red Sea in several months over the weekend, raising concerns that it could be the first in a new wave of such attacks.

For 2nd time in 2 days, a merchant vessel was attacked by Houthi terrorists in small vessels using RPGs near Hodeidah.
