Houthis claimed attacks on two merchant ships

On June 7, 2024, the 'Elbella', en route from Jeddah to Port Said, and the 'AAL Genoa' (IMO: 9393553) were reportedly attacked with drones and ballistic and naval missiles. A Houthi spokesman did not disclose when these attacks took place but did say the two ships were in the Red Sea at the time. The US CENTCOM said on June 7, that within the previous 24 hours, Iranian-backed Houthis launched four anti-ship ballistic missiles (ASBM) from Houthi controlled areas of Yemen over the Red Sea. There were no injuries or damage reported by U.S., coalition, or commercial ships. The US forces also destroyed one drone launched into the Bab al-Mandab Strait. US Centcom forces destroyed four UASs (unmanned aircraft system or drones) and two ASBMs in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen, in addition to destroying a Houthi patrol boat in the Red Sea. On June 6, CENTCOM said it had destroyed eight UASs and two uncrewed surface vessels (USV) in the Red Sea.

Fatal stabbing of Filipino seafarer was suicide, says shipowner

Athens: The fatal stabbing of a Filipino seafarer onboard a containership is thought to have been a suicide, the vessel’s owner told Splash today. The man was found dead on Sunday onboard the handysize containership Elbella (1,740 dwt, built 2006), owned by Greece’s Eastern Mediterranean Maritime. The man’s body had been stabbed several times and was found in a pool of blood. Two knives were found next to the body, Maltese press reports say. An autopsy is underway. The Malta-flagged boxship had just arrived from Turkey, but has since been released by port authorities because investigations pointed to suicide, Eastmed told Splash. The shipping company is still waiting for the official results of the autopsy. http://splash247.com/fatal-stabbing-of-filipino-seafarer-suicide-shipowner/
