A bulk carrier sailing through the strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait became the target of an attack by suspected pirates.<\/p>\n

The pirates chased the ship in smaller vessels and eventually opened fire in the ship\u2019s direction, the British military\u2019s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations Center stated.<\/p>\n

The ship was attacked twice, and armed guards aboard it also opened fire in return.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, the crew members were safe, and nobody was injured.<\/p>\n

The region has witnessed several attacks by the Houthis over the Israel-Hamas conflict, along with a rise in piracy from Somalia.<\/p>\n

The Bab el Mandeb Strait is a link between the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal.<\/p>\n

Massive exports of petroleum and natural gas from the Persian Gulf that transit the Suez Canal or the SUMED Pipeline pass through the strategic waterway.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
