Yemen’s Houthis claim attack on Maersk Sentosa ship in Arabian Sea
Yemen’s Houthis say they targeted the Maersk Sentosa ship in the Arabian sea with several ballistic and wing missiles.
“The American ship Maersk Sentosa was targeted in the Arabian Sea by naval forces and missile force in a joint operation,” Yahya Sarea, the Yemeni group’s military spokesperson, says in a televised speech.
Earlier today, shipping giant Maersk says one of its vessels, the Maersk Sentosa, reported being targeted by a flying object in the north of the Gulf of Aden.
Maersk tells Reuters that no injuries to the crew or damage to the ship or cargo were reported.
