Another Ship Attacked In Red Sea

TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — A ship traveling through the southern Red Sea has been attacked by a suspected Yemen Houthi rebel drone. The attack happened early Tuesday west of Hodeida, Yemen, and a projectile caused “slight damage” to the vessel’s windows on the bridge. That’s according to the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations. The private security firm Ambrey identified the vessel as a Barbados-flagged, United Kingdom-owned cargo ship. The firm said no one was hurt onboard the vessel, which suffered “minor damage.” No group immediately claimed responsibility. However, suspicions immediately fell on the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen, who have conducted attacks since November over Israel’s war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
