Merchant ship struck in Red Sea, in latest apparent Houthi attack
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — A merchant ship issued a distress call after being struck in the Red Sea off Yemen, a security firm says, in what appeared to be the latest attack by Iran-backed Houthi rebels.
The ship was hit about 68 nautical miles southwest of the rebel-held port city of Hodeida, maritime security firm Ambrey says.
The company “assessed the vessel aligned with the Houthi target profile at the time of the incident,” it says in a statement, without giving further details.
