No casualties or damage after two attacks on ships in Red Sea
Suspected attacks by Yemen’s Houthi rebels targeted shipping in the Red Sea on Tuesday, officials said, the latest in their campaign of assaults over the Israel-Hamas war.
The first attack happened around 115 kilometres south of the Houthi-held port city of Hodeida, the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations centre said. That attack saw an explosive detonate near the ship, then a small vessel “acting suspiciously” and flashing a light near the ship came close, followed by a second blast, the UKMTO said.The private security firm Ambrey similarly reported the attack, saying the ship saw “two ‘close-proximity’ explosions.
The Houthis have targeted more than 70 vessels with missiles and drones in a campaign that has killed four sailors since the start of the war in Gaza in October. They have seized one vessel and sunk two in the time since. Other missiles and drones have been either intercepted by a U.S.-led coalition in the Red Sea or splashed down before reaching their targets.
