India voices apprehension regarding the security situation in the Red Sea, emphasizing the importance of freedom of navigation and commerce in the region. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal labels the escalating attacks by Yemen's Houthis in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden as a "matter of concern." The recent drone attack on a merchant vessel in the Gulf of Aden led to the evacuation of all 21 crew members by India's INS Visakhapatnam. Houthi rebels' support for Hamas and targeting commercial ships intensifies global worries, altering maritime routes. The US and UK respond with airstrikes, impacting crucial shipping lanes.
