[Regnum] Attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels on civilian ships in the Red Sea could affect the economic situation in the UK, British Treasury Secretary Jeremy Hunt said on January 5 in an interview with the BBC.
Responding to a question about whether disruption to maritime transport links in the Middle East region could lead to higher prices in the United Kingdom, he replied that such an impact was possible.
“We will monitor this extremely closely,” the British minister promised.
As Regnum reported, on December 30, in the Red Sea from areas controlled by the Houthis, missiles were fired at a container ship of the Danish company Maersk, which was sailing under the flag of Singapore. The carrier has suspended ship movements in the area indefinitely.
In addition, in early January, several merchant ships in the southern Red Sea reported ballistic missiles launched in their direction from Yemen. The Houthis also attacked the French carrier CMA CGM's Tage.
A representative of the movement assured that militants will continue to attack ships heading to Israel, adding that attempts at counteraction by the United States will not be left unanswered.
British Foreign Secretary David Cameron said on January 4 that new attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels on ships in the Red Sea would have consequences for them. However, he did not specify what specific measures might be discussed.
