Red Sea Mein Ship Par Hamla: Kya Hua?
Red Sea mein Yemen ke Al Hudaydah port ke paas ek ship par kuchh chote vessels ne hamla kiya. Hamle mein ship mein aag lag gayi, jiski wajah se crew ko ship chhodni padi. Iske baad Israel army ne Houthi-controlled ports par airstrikes kiye. Yeh ghatna global shipping ke liye ek bada setback hai.
Hamle Ki Details:
UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) ne bataya ki vessels ne ship par fire open kiya aur self-propelled grenades bhi launch kiye. Ek security officer ke mutabik, hamla Al Hudaydah se lagbhag 51 nautical miles southwest mein hua. Ek aur merchant vessel ne crew members ko bacha liya, lekin ship abhi bhi abandoned hai. Abhi tak kisi group ne is hamle ki zimmedari nahi li hai.
Israel Ka Response:
Is hamle ke baad, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) ne Al Hudaydah, Ras Issa aur Al-Salif ports par airstrikes kiye. Al Hudaydah mein ek power plant bhi target kiya gaya. IDF ka kehna hai ki yeh airstrikes Houthis dwara Israel par kiye gaye repeated attacks ke response mein the. Houthis lagatar Israel par missiles fire karte rahe hain.
IDF Ne Kya Kaha?
IDF ne Telegram par kaha ki Houthi terrorist regime maritime domain ka use karke passing vessels aur global maritime commerce ke khilaaf terrorist activity karta hai. Unka yeh bhi kehna hai ki jin targets par strike kiya gaya, woh civilian infrastructure ka systematic use terrorist purposes ke liye dikhate hain.
Houthis Ka Reason:
Houthis ne Red Sea mein commercial vessels par hamla tab shuru kiya jab Israel ne Gaza Strip mein Hamas ke khilaaf campaign launch kiya. Isse global shipping routes mein disruption hua. Haalanki, late 2024 se yeh attacks kam ho gaye hain kyunki shippers ne vessels ko doosre routes se bhejna shuru kar diya hai.
Ceasefire Aur Threats:
Earlier is saal, US aur Israel dwara kiye gaye intense bombing campaign ke baad, Yemen-based militia ne Washington ke saath ek ceasefire kiya tha. Lekin last month US dwara Iran ke nuclear sites par Israel ke offensive mein shaamil hone ke decision ke baad, group ne US-associated vessels ko phir se target karne ki dhamki di hai.
Global Trade Par Asar:
Red Sea mein ships par Houthi ke assaults ne Covid-19 pandemic ke baad global trade mein sabse bada disruption create kiya hai, jisse world ke busiest maritime corridors mein activity kam ho gayi hai. Is situation par sabki nazar bani hui hai.
