the red sea crisis is still unfolding.

on the evening of september 7, local time, yemeni houthi armed spokesman yahya saraiya said in a speech that the houthi armed forces shot down a us mq-9 drone over the country's marib province. the us drone was "conducting hostile actions" when it was shot down. he did not disclose the time of shooting down the drone, and said that this was the eighth time the houthi armed forces had shot down this type of drone since october last year.

the current situation in the red sea remains tense. the us military said that the yemeni houthi armed forces attacked two oil tankers in the red sea on monday - the saudi-flagged "amjad" and the panamanian-flagged "blue lagoon i", and called the attack a "reckless act of terrorism."

the latest data shows that demand for trade routes affected by the red sea crisis remains very strong. a new analysis reveals the astonishing profits of the global container shipping industry in the second quarter of 2024, totaling more than $10 billion (about rmb 71.3 billion). this growth is mainly due to the rerouting of the red sea route, which not only increased cargo volume but also pushed up freight rates.
