Yemen: Houthis seize UAE vessel carrying ‘military supplies’

Al Jazeera  

Saudi-led coalition says the vessel was carrying medical equipment when it was seized off the coast of Hodeidah. Yemen’s Houthi fighters say they have seized a UAE-flagged vessel in the Red Sea, claiming it carried “military supplies” after the Saudi-led coalition accused the armed group of “piracy”. The vessel “entered Yemeni waters without authorisation” off the coast of Hodeidah and was carrying out “hostile acts”, the Houthi military spokesman Yahia Saree said on Twitter on Monday. Hours later, a statement from the Saudi-led coalition, carried by state media in the kingdom, acknowledged the attack, saying the Houthis had committed an act of “armed piracy” involving the vessel. pic.twitter.com/irfyh43rTr — Jason Brodsky January 3, 2022 “It is completely obvious today that the information that this ship was carrying a civilian field hospital is not correct,” said Yahia Sare’e, a Houthi military spokesman.
