US warns of environmental disaster from cargo ship hit by Huthi rebels

A cargo ship attacked by Yemeni rebels in the Gulf of Aden is facing a serious environmental crisis. The Rubymar, a Belize-flagged and British-registered vessel operated by a Lebanese company, was hit by a missile strike on Sunday. The attack, claimed by Iran-backed Huthi rebels, caused the ship to take on water and created a large oil slick.
