The Rubymar, a cargo vessel that was recently targeted by a Houthi missile, sank in the Red Sea, laden with 21,000 metric tons of fertilizer. The sinking of the ship has ignited concerns over an imminent environmental disaster, given the sensitive ecosystem of the Red Sea. The extensive cargo of fertilizer, which now rests at the sea's bottom, could potentially release harmful substances into the marine environment, posing a significant threat to local biodiversity. This incident highlights the intersecting challenges of geopolitical conflicts and environmental preservation efforts.
