A UK-registered cargo ship, the Rubymar, is in danger of sinking after being attacked by Yemen's Houthi rebels, the group has said.
The ship suffered "catastrophic" damage from a missile attack off the coast of Yemen, according to a statement from Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sare'e on social media site X.
His statement continued: “The ship suffered catastrophic damages and came to a complete halt. As a result of the extensive damage the ship suffered, it is now at risk of potential sinking in the Gulf of Aden.”

The crew had to leave the ship but are safe. Downing Street has condemned the Houthi attacks on shipping. The UK's Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported an incident 35 nautical miles south of Al Mukha, a town on Yemen's Red Sea coast.
The ship was damaged after "an explosion in close proximity to the vessel," and the authorities are investigating.
The Prime Minister’s spokesman said on Monday: “Clearly we condemn any attacks by the Houthis against commercial civilian ships.”
The official added that HMS Richmond continues to patrol the Red Sea to help protect commercial shipping.
“As the PM has said, we will not hesitate to act to protect freedom of navigation and lives at sea,” he added.
The Iran-backed Houthis also claimed to have shot down a US drone in the port city of Hodeidah.
The ship is believed to be Belize-flagged, Lebanese-operated and UK-registered, and was travelling through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait connecting the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden when it was targeted.
The UK and the US have carried out joint air strikes against Houthi rebels in recent weeks in order to stop attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea.
