Yemen’s Houthis say they mounted six attacks on ships with drones and missiles in the last 72 hours in the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea, as well as targeting Eilat.
The Houthis attacked the Maersk Saratoga, APL Detroit, Huang Pu and Pretty Lady after identifying them as either US or British, according to a statement from the group’s military spokesperson Yahya Sarea.
Sarea adds that the group also attacked two US destroyers in the Red Sea as well as Eilat.
It was not immediately clear which, if any, of the targets were struck by the drones or missiles. Eilat was last attacked on Thursday, according to Israeli authorities, but has not been struck.
