Projectiles struck a container ship off the coast of Yemen today without causing any injuries, an attack likely carried out by the Iran-backed Houthi rebels, maritime security firm Ambrey says.
“A Singapore-flagged container ship was ‘hit’ by projectiles” 80 nautical miles (148 kilometers) southeast of the Yemeni port city of Aden, Ambrey says in an advisory, adding that no injuries were reported in the attack that is consistent with previous Houthi operations, and occurred the same day the rebels claimed a drone strike on Tel Aviv.
