The dry cargo ship Laax belonging to Greece, sailing under the flag of the Marshall Islands, was attacked by a missile in the Red Sea and was injured. According to "Armenpress", The Times of Israel reported about this. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but it is believed that the attack was carried out by Yemen's Houthis, who have carried out numerous attacks on ships sailing in the Red Sea during the ongoing war in Gaza. According to the UK's Merchant Marine Operations, the first attack on the dry cargo ship Laax took place near the southern Red Sea port city of Hodeidah, not far from the Bab el Mandeb Strait. The ship was damaged, but continued sailing. Later, as a result of the second impact, the cargo ship "suffered additional damage". Ambrey, a private security company, reported that "the cargo area was damaged and water began to enter the ship." US Central Command (CENTCOM) reported that on May 28, between 12:05 and 12:05 Sana'a time. Between 1:40 p.m., the Houthis fired five anti-ship ballistic missiles into the Red Sea from areas under their control in Yemen. The dry cargo ship Laax reported being hit by three missiles but continued sailing. And on the morning of May 28, US Central Command forces successfully destroyed five drones over the Red Sea that were launched from the Houthi-controlled region of Yemen.
