Turkey condemns Houthi attack on Turkish owned cargo ship

Turkey’s foreign ministry on Wednesday condemned a missile attack on the Panama-flagged and Turkish-owned cargo ship Anadolu S while sailing off the coast of Yemen by Iran-aligned Houthis.

In a statement, the Turkish foreign ministry said that necessary initiatives are being taken to prevent the recurrence of a similar incident.

A military spokesman for Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis said on Tuesday they had launched a missile attack on a vessel in the Red Sea without specifying when.
