If verified, it would be the first vessel lost since Houthi militants began targeting commercial shipping in November.
The government statement said the ship sunk on Friday night and warned of an “environmental catastrophe.”
The ship was carrying more than 41,000 tons of fertilizer when it came under attack, the US military’s Central Command previously said.
Yemen’s Houthi militants have been attacking commercial ships in the Red Sea region since mid-November, saying they are acting in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
On Monday, a Yemeni government team visited the Rubymar, a Belize-flagged, UK-owned cargo ship, and said it was partially submerged and could sink within a couple of days.
The US military previously said the attack had significantly damaged the freighter and caused an 18-mile (29-kilometer) oil slick.
The United States Navy’s Fifth Fleet did not immediately respond to a request to confirm the sinking on Saturday.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Of course it’s cause an “environmental catastrophe.” What’s next? Are they going to tell us that the Houthis are a contributing factor for climate change, and that’s why we got to bomb them off the face of the earth?
[7] And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. [8] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. Mark 13:7-8
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Oil slicks are an environmental problem and growing up in the Midwest I can tell you that chemical and biological fertilizer is toxic to aquatic plants and fish. Farmers who raise livestock have to take strict precautions to keep animal waste and fertilizer from reaching the waterways.
A cargo ship full of fertilizer is a major problem.
Ta heck with the people on board the ship; their more worried about climate, yada yada yada. Same ole song and dance; people are expendable, climate change is their god.
The DSA (Divided States of Amerika) are probably paying them with fiat cash to do this. Nothing surprises me anymore. Sadly, the environment and prospective customers will pay a heavy price for this.
Revelation 11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

Would that American Christians had the wisdom to pray as Daniel prayed in Daniel 9 KJB. And I know the context. I know we’re not a theocracy or Israel. And I’m talking about the believing ones who should know better.

They might actually get a response regardless of what happens to this nation.

As for the practical realities & past history: the Titanic, the Lusitania, Pearl Harbor….etc. I have more than a suspicion this isn’t what it seems on the surface, nor that it happened as reported: & I have a hard time believing that the mighty men of the earth, warlords & terrorists, men of Satan’s policy & devices, that they are. left that much potential explosives ‘go to waste’.

On the other hand, it sure could bring on the planned response to the coalition of the ‘king of the south’ in the final fulfillment of the typology of the Syrian wars.
