Yemen’s Houthis targeted “vessel Charysalis” twice in both the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait with a number of ballistic and naval missiles and drones, the Iran-aligned group’s military spokesman Yahya Sareesays.

The Houthi rebels, which control the most populous parts of Yemen, have staged attacks on ships in the waters off the country for months, claiming the attacks are in solidarity with Palestinians fighting Israel in Gaza.
