Somaliland denies reports about allegations that a ship was targeted on its way to the port of Berbera

 

The Somaliland administration denied press reports about allegations that Houthi rebels targeted a ship that was on its way to the port of Berbera.

According to the separatist administration, the ship owned by Trafigura, which was targeted by the Houthis, was transporting fuel from Russia to Singapore, stressing that the ship’s itinerary was not linked to Somaliland.

Somaliland expressed great concerns about the escalating threats facing maritime traffic in the Red Sea and urged the international community to cooperate in protecting vital trade routes.
