@riverwalk3 agree with this - initially it was only the Yemeni government that declared it sunk but it's been corroborated

Handy auxiliary market
The latest news is that Djibouti is refusing the vessel. (Why? This seems unexpected to me. Is it normal?) So is Aden. So they are trying Jeddah now.

@metacontrarian Even if by a feat of nautical engineering it doesn't sink for a week, I guess it just sits there now? Who's going to go tow it?
Houthi military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree claimed on Monday night that the Rubymar sank. However, satellite images from Planet Labs PBC analyzed by The Associated Press showed the Rubymar still afloat at 2 p.m. local time Tuesday just north of the Bab el-Mandeb.

I'm seeing reports that the Rubymar sustained serious damage and Houthi sources are claiming it has sunk or will sink soon. I've also seen a recent video from an unverified source of a ship that looks a lot like Rubymar sinking, but frankly I'm not overly confident it's the right ship, or else I would have bid this a lot higher!
Regardless of whether the Rubymar actually sinks, it's clear they seriously escalated their attacks today. It's only a matter of time.
