Today, Sunday, the US Central Command (Centcom) revealed the sinking of the British ship MV Ruby Mar in the Red Sea, confirming that the sinking resulted from the ship being hit by a ballistic missile launched from Yemen.

Centcom claimed, in a statement, that the MV Ruby Mar is a Belize-flagged bulk carrier that was targeted by the missile on February 18, adding that “the ship has been slowly filling with water since the attack.”

On February 19, the spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, announced in a statement that the British ship “RUBYMAR” had been targeted in the Gulf of Aden, stressing that it had been targeted with a number of appropriate naval missiles.

The spokesman for the Yemeni Armed Forces added that as a result of the operation, the ship was seriously injured, which led to its complete cessation.

A member of the Supreme Political Council, Muhammad Ali Al-Houthi, addressed British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak by saying: “You and your government bear responsibility for the ship MV Ruby Mar, and the responsibility for supporting the genocide and siege in the Gaza war.”
