Houthis Claim Attack On American Ship, US Says No Damage To Vessel
Houthis claim attacking an American ship; US denies damage, stating no impact in international waters of the Red Sea.
Yemen's Huthi rebels, backed by Iran, claimed responsibility for another attack on a US ship in the Gulf of Aden. However, the US military stated that the missiles launched by the Huthis missed their target, causing no damage or injuries. The Huthis have been involved in ongoing aggression against vessels in the Red Sea, prompting strikes by US and British forces. The recent attacks are part of an escalated conflict, with the Huthis citing reasons such as opposition to "American-British aggression" and the "oppression of the Palestinian people." Despite US counterstrikes, the Huthis have continued their attacks, leading to heightened tensions in the region.
