[Regnum] The Yemeni rebel movement Ansar Allah's claim of a successful attack on the US Navy cargo ship Ocean Jazz is untrue, the press service of the US Navy's Fifth Fleet said on Monday, January 22. “The report by Iran-backed Houthi terrorists of an alleged successful attack on the merchant ship Ocean Jazz is patently false. The navigation support center maintains constant contact with Ocean Jazz along its route for safety purposes,” the message says. Earlier on Monday, Houthi spokesman Yahya Saria on his page on the social network X announced an attack on the Ocean Jazz cargo ship in the Gulf of Aden. According to him, this attack was a response to US and British attacks on Yemen. The representative stressed that the Houthis will continue to prevent ships from entering the ports of “occupied Palestine” until the fighting in the Gaza Strip ceases. As Regnum news agency reported, on January 19, the United States of America and Great Britain carried out further strikes on Yemeni Houthi targets located in Hodeidah. At least two airstrikes, according to Sky News Arabiya, were carried out in the Al-Jabana area in the coastal part of the city. More from regnum.ru Slovakia will support the EU security mission in the Red Sea Slovakia is ready to support a possible EU security mission in the Red Sea. This statement was made by the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic, Juraj Blanar, in a conversation with journalists. As Blanar pointed out, Slovakia will always be on the side of international law and will not support actions that violate international law, that is, attacks on sovereign territories. “The interest is to ensure the security of the ships that make up 15-20% of global trade that pass through this route, and to prevent the casualties that are associated with this. Slovakia will support such legal instruments for protecting these vessels,” Blanar said.
Borrell stressed that the EU welcomes the adoption by the UN Security Council of Resolution No. 2722 condemning attacks on ships in the Red Sea. He added that the European Union will continue to contribute to regional stability. According to Bloomberg, more tankers carrying crude oil and fuel are now chartered for routes to Asia rather than Europe, as well as bypassing Africa. | ||
