Possible attack by Yemen’s Houthi rebels targets ship farther away than previous assaults
A possible attack by Yemen ’s Houthi rebels on Monday targeted a ship farther away from nearly all of the previous assaults they’ve launched in the Gulf of Aden , officials said, potentially part of a widening escalation by the group.
The attack was just off to the northeast of Yemen’s Socotra Island, also held by allies of the exiled government. “The vessel was not hit and all crew on board are safe,” it said. “JMIC assesses that the vessel was likely attacked due to perceived Israeli association.” However, the attack happened near the outer reaches of the Gulf of Aden where it becomes the Arabian Sea and then ultimately the Indian Ocean. Of the more than 60 attacks launched by the Houthis since November that specifically targeted vessels, this would be one of the farthest.
