Maersk temporarily halts shipping via Red Sea following recent attacks

Maersk, a shipping company from Denmark, announced that it will temporarily halt all voyages through the Red Sea. This decision comes in response to a series of attacks on ships that have originated from a region in Yemen controlled by the Houthis, a rebel group backed by Iran. The Houthis have expressed their support for Hamas and have specifically targeted vessels bound for Israel. The Red Sea is a crucial route for the transportation of oil and fuel, making this development significant. This is an ongoing story and further details will be released soon.
