Yemen Monitor/Newsroom:
The United Nations Security Council urged Houthi militants on Monday to release the car carrier Galaxy Leader, operated by Japan’s Nippon Yusen K.K., and its crew.
The ship Galaxy Leader and its crew were seized by the Houthis in the Red Sea on November 19, 2023.
In a press statement issued ahead of the first anniversary, the Security Council said the crew members have been “unlawfully detained for nearly a year.”
The Security Council said it “strongly condemns the continued Houthi attacks against commercial vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.”
