An attack by Yemen's Houthi rebels sees explosions near ship in Red Sea

New Indian Express  

DUBAI: An attack by Yemen's Houthi rebels saw multiple explosions strike near a commercial vessel travelling through the Red Sea on Tuesday, though no damage was immediately reported by the ship, Western authorities said. A vessel in the southern reaches of the Red Sea, about 130 kilometres southwest of the rebel-held port city of Hodeida, reported the attack, the British military's United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations centre said. Gen. Yahya Saree claimed in a prerecorded statement Tuesday night that the rebels attacked two American destroyers in the Red Sea with ballistic missiles and drones. Meanwhile, a report by UN experts from October says "the Houthis allegedly collected illegal fees from a few shipping agencies to allow their ships to sail through the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden without being attacked."
