Yemen's Huthi rebels have attacked vessels in the Red Sea with drones and missiles following the outbreak of the Gaza war. A photo of containers balanced precariously on a cargo ship that surfaced in posts about the strikes, however, is unrelated.
Yemen's Huthi rebels have attacked vessels in the Red Sea with drones and missiles following the outbreak of the Gaza war. A photo of containers balanced precariously on a cargo ship that surfaced in posts about the strikes, however, is unrelated. The New Zealand navy published the picture in a Facebook post about a ship that ran aground in October 2011.into the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden since November 2023, describing their attacks as an act of retaliation for the Israel-Hamas war.
The Iran-backed rebel attacks have prompted reprisal strikes by US and British forces and the formation of an international coalition to protect the vital shipping lanes.According to the Facebook post, the photo shows the Rena container ship stranded off the coast of New Zealand after it hit a reef in 2011.
The Liberian-flagged vessel released an oil slick that killed thousands of sea birds after it ploughed into the offshore reef, fouling beaches in the North Island's pristine Bay of Plenty. The accident triggered public fury and a dangerous salvage operation which involved crews scrambling to pump the remaining oil from the Rena's fuel tanks as heavy seas pounded the stricken vessel and opened up deep cracks in its hull.The war in Gaza broke out after Hamas's unprecedented attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, which resulted in the deaths of more than 1,170 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on Israeli official figures.
