Original Note:
The MV Rubymar was afloat and at anchor, with the cargo of fertilizer intact, on 24 February. Two Houthi missiles struck – but did not sink – the civilian ship on 18 February. The crew of 24 were transferred to Djibouti by the passing MV Lobivia, not by the Houthis. https://x.com/CENTCOM/status/1761225931656704052 https://x.com/dpfza/status/1759606818978906406 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-68337027 https://www.reuters.com/world/ship-abandoned-red-sea-faces-unknown-fate-sources-2024-02-21/ https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/23/world/middleeast/mv-rubymar-vessel.html https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/red-sea-ship-missile-drone-houthi-rubymar-yemen-iran-gaza-b1139969.html
