DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — In just days, Yemen’s Houthi rebels have begun a new, more violent campaign of attacks targeting ships in the Red Sea, sinking two of them and killing some of their crew.

A total of 10 crew members have been rescued so far after Yemeni militants sank a Greek-owned cargo ship in the Red Sea.

As crew members are rescued from a ship sunk by Yemeni Houthis, the US says some of the missing have been taken hostage. In Germany, Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul called on Israel to help Palestinians in need.
