An additional 13.6 million tons of greenhouse gases were released into the atmosphere in the four months (from mid-December 2023 to April 2024) after the Houthis attacked Israeli-affiliated ships in the Red Sea and the ships began to circumnavigate Africa via the Cape of Good Hope. According to experts' calculations, if the crisis continues, the amount of waste may reach 41 million tons per year.

The cost of transporting cargo through Egypt's Suez Canal has increased ninefold to $6,800 per container. Before the crisis, it was $750.

There is a tea shortage in Britain as British ships are forced to divert to Africa following Houthi attacks on ships linked to Israel in the Red Sea. This shortage may last for several months.

The world's largest logistics companies point out that the situation related to the security of cargo transportation in the Red Sea has only worsened after the US began military operations against the Houthis.

The Houthis said they fired cruise missiles at a US ship in the Gulf of Aden and hit it with "high precision".

The Houthis confirmed the attack on a Greek cargo ship sailing from Vietnam to Israel under the flag of Malta in the Red Sea.

Due to the situation with the Houthis in the Red Sea, Tesla and Volvo Car have decided to temporarily stop production in Europe. The global supply chain is also being affected by the decline in the level of the Panama Canal.

The United States and Great Britain hit at least 12 targets of the Ansarullah (Houthi) movement in Yemen with the help of warplanes and Tomahawk missiles. The Houthis, in turn, reported that they retaliated against enemy ships and military installations. There are no reports of casualties or damage yet.

The UN Security Council adopted a draft resolution demanding an immediate end to Houthi attacks in the Red Sea.

The incident occurred 684.5 km south-west of Veraval, India.
