Jakarta (ANTARA) – Indonesia has strongly condemned recent attacks on commercial vessels navigating the Red Sea, describing them as a clear violation of international law and a threat to regional stability.”Such an act is contrary to international law—including the principle of freedom of navigation—and endangers maritime safety, international trade, and regional stability,” Indonesia's Foreign Ministry posted on X on Friday.Indonesia urged all parties to the conflict to exercise maximum restraint, refrain from actions that could further escalate tensions, and respect international law, including the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). The diplomatic rebuke follows a series of attacks claimed by Yemen's Houthi movement.On Thursday (July 23), Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea announced that the group had launched ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones at two Saudi-bound oil tankers, identified as ENCELIA and LAYLA, in the Red Sea.Sarea claimed the vessels were targeted for violating an embargo imposed by the group on ships docking at Saudi ports.Confirming the incident, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) issued an alert stating that a tanker operating about 70 nautical miles southwest of Al Shuqaiq, Saudi Arabia, had been struck by an unidentified projectile.The attack sparked a fire on board, which the crew worked to extinguish.Addressing the rising tensions along one of the world's most vital shipping corridors, Indonesia reiterated its support for a peaceful, UN-backed resolution to the broader conflict in Yemen.Indonesia's Foreign Ministry emphasized that any political process must remain inclusive, respect Yemen's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and be led by the Yemeni people.Yemen has been embroiled in a devastating conflict since late 2014, when Houthi forces seized the capital, Sanaa.The takeover prompted a Saudi-led military coalition to intervene in 2015 in support of the internationally recognized government, leaving the region unstable and making key maritime routes increasingly vulnerable to attack.
