  • 5 months ago
Danish shipping giant Maersk has paused all shipping operations in the Red Sea indefinitely after another attack by Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen over the weekend. Maersk said vessels will be rerouted and continue their journeys around the Cape of Good Hope, adding costs and delays. Houthi rebels in Yemen have been attacking commercial vessels in the Red Sea for months in retaliation for Israeli assaults on Gaza, disrupting global shipping.
