UK could send aircraft carrier to Red Sea to 'plug a gap'
Wednesday, 31 January 2024 The UK could send an aircraft carrier to the Red Sea amid the ongoing attacks by Iran-backed Houthi rebels, the armed forces minister has suggested.
Yemen's Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for striking the Andromeda Star oil tanker in the Red Sea, part of their solidarity with Palestinians amid the Gaza conflict. The ship sustained damage, confirmed by Ambrey. Recent attacks on commercial vessels raise concerns of regional destabilization. The USS Dwight D. Eisenhower's departure from the Red Sea coincided with heightened tensions.
