Indonesia has issued a strong condemnation of recent attacks on commercial vessels navigating the Red Sea, describing the incidents as a clear violation of international law.
The statement from Jakarta adds to the growing chorus of global criticism targeting the disruption of one of the world’s most vital energy trade routes.
The diplomatic rebuke comes as shipping risk remains a persistent theme for energy markets.
The European Union recently issued its own sharp condemnation of a Houthi attack on an oil tanker in the region, with foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas warning that such actions are unacceptable and illegal.
This coordinated diplomatic pressure highlights the international community's focus on securing the corridor, which is critical for global oil flows.
For traders, the persistence of these attacks keeps a risk premium embedded in energy prices.
