America warns of an environmental disaster in the Red Sea, and Germany is moving to join the European mission. The British ship broke down after it was exposed to a Houthi attack last week.

The Yemeni government appealed to the countries of the world and organizations concerned with the environment to expedite dealing with the crisis of the British ship. According to German media, the frigate Hessen sailed two weeks ago from the port of the city of Wilhemshaven in the north of the country.
