Two Missiles, One Target: Houthis’ Red Sea Assault, Panama-Flagged Anadolu S Hit Twice in Hours

Tensions in the Red Sea escalated dramatically as Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels targeted the Panama-flagged bulk carrier Anadolu S with two missile strikes in a matter of hours. The first attack occurred late Sunday night, narrowly missing the vessel's stern. Despite warnings, the ship continued its course, prompting a second strike the following day, landing just a nautical mile away. While no casualties or damage were reported, the incident highlights the Houthis' growing maritime campaign, which they claim is in solidarity with Gaza. The Bahrain-based Combined Task Force confirmed the strikes, raising concerns over shipping safety in the region. This bold assault underscores the escalating risks for international vessels navigating the Red Sea amid intensifying regional tensions. #RedSeaTensions #HouthiMissileStrikes #AnadoluSAttack #MaritimeConflict #RedSeaCrisis #HouthiAssault #ShippingUnderFire #MaritimeSecurity #RedSeaEscalation #PanamaFlaggedShip #MissileStrikes #HouthisInAction #GlobalShippingThreat #RedSeaDanger #MaritimeRisks ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.101~GR.124~

Bangladesh: Thousands of Minority Hindus Rally in Dhaka, Demand Protection From Anti-Hindu Mobs

In the wake of escalating violence against minorities in Bangladesh, hundreds have taken to the streets of Dhaka to demand urgent protections for Hindus and other vulnerable communities. Following the ousting of former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in August, minority groups report a significant increase in threats and attacks, perceived as reprisals due to their support for her regime. The caretaker government, led by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus, has condemned these attacks but insists many are politically motivated rather than based on religious intolerance. #Bangladesh #MinorityRights #DhakaProtests #HinduCommunity #SheikhHasina #MuhammadYunus #PoliticalViolence
