Indonesia Condemns Red Sea Oil Tanker Attacks

Indonesia has strongly condemned recent attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea, calling them a serious threat to maritime security. The strikes targeted oil tankers transiting the critical waterway, raising fears of disruption to global shipping lanes. Jakarta urged all parties to respect international law and ensure the safety of civilian ships. The statement did not name specific groups, but Houthi rebels in Yemen have previously claimed responsibility for similar assaults. The Red Sea is a vital route for oil and goods, and any instability there risks higher costs for consumers worldwide.
