On June 20, 2024 at 1:57 AM, Yemeni Houthi rebels continued to disrupt commercial ships in the Red Sea, attacking a coal transport ship operated by a Greek company, resulting in the death of a Filipino crew member. The Houthi group released footage showing the merchant ship turning into a fireball, lighting up the Red Sea. This marks the second sinking caused by the rebels, with at least one casualty reported. The US plans new sanctions against the Houthis, who show no signs of ceasefire as attacks persist due to the Gaza conflict. Amid threats to the Red Sea route and issues with US aid to Gaza, the situation remains tense.
