Turkey condemned the missile attack by Houthi rebels in Yemen on a cargo ship in the Red Sea and stated that necessary measures will be taken to prevent the recurrence of such incidents. The statement from the Turkish Foreign Ministry, published on Wednesday, November 30, reads: 'We condemn the missile attacks by the Houthis on the cargo ship Anadolu S, which flies the Panamanian flag and belongs to a Turkish company, while it was navigating off the coast of Yemen.' The Houthi rebels announced on Tuesday that they targeted a cargo ship in the Red Sea. At the same time, the international military coalition stationed in the region reported that two missiles struck near a Panamanian-flagged vessel. Iranian-backed Houthis have targeted dozens of commercial ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden with missile and drone attacks since November last year, claiming to support Palestinians in the Gaza war. Yahya Saree, a spokesman for the Houthis, stated that the group targeted the 'Anadolu S' ship in the Red Sea with ballistic missiles in a 'precise operation.' The Turkish Ministry did not provide information on whether the ship was damaged, only stating, 'Necessary measures are being taken to prevent the recurrence of similar incidents.'
