Egypt Denies Link to Ship Targeted Off Yemen, Condemns Red Sea Attacks
Egypt says the ship was not linked to its ports or cargo as Red Sea attacks threaten navigation and divert traffic through the Suez Canal, officials said.
- On Thursday, Egypt's Foreign Ministry denied any link to a ship attacked off Yemen earlier this week, stating the vessel carried no Egyptian cargo and never entered Egyptian ports.
- Tensions have escalated in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden since July 20, when the Houthis announced a "naval blockade" on ships linked to Saudi Arabia.
- Separately, a Houthi drone attack on a military camp in the Al-Abr desert area of Hadramout province on Thursday killed two people and injured 15 others.
- These attacks threaten international waterway security, often reducing traffic through Egypt's Suez Canal and causing financial losses for Cairo as ships divert to alternative routes.
- Since 2015, Saudi Arabia has led a coalition backing Yemen's government, while Iran is accused of supporting the Houthis, who have controlled the capital Sanaa since 2014.
