UN worried over attacks on Red Sea
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that the UN had expressed concern over attacks on the Red Sea.
Intensifying attacks by Yemen's Huthi rebels in the Red Sea have caused shipping companies to bypass the route and instead divert around Africa's Cape of Good Hope, significantly adding to journey times and cost.
The UN Security Council is expected to vote on a resolution demanding the Huthis stop targeting maritime traffic in the Red Sea.
