Yemen’s Houthis say they targeted US ship in Gulf of Aden with missiles
Yemen’s Houthi movement earlier targeted the US Genco Picardy bulk carrier with missiles, resulting in a “direct hit,” the group’s military spokesperson Yahya Saree says in a statement.
“The naval forces will not hesitate to target all sources of threat in the Red and Arabian Sea(s) within the legitimate right to defend Yemen and to continue supporting the oppressed Palestinian people,” Sarea adds.
