Ship in Red Sea escapes Houthi missile, boat attack
AL-MUKALLA: Three missiles presumably launched by Yemen’s Houthi militia attacked a commercial ship cruising in the Red Sea on Monday, just after it avoided an assault by manned boats and a drone boat, a UK marine agency said. UK Maritime Trade Operations said that the captain of a ship traveling 70 nautical miles southwest of Yemen’s Hodeidah reported seeing a missile fall in proximity to the ship at about 8 a.m. GMT. Forty-five minutes later, the captain reported that two additional missiles had exploded near the ship but that the ship and the crew were unharmed.
