Yemen’s rebel Ansar Allah movement, also known as the Houthis, said that it had attacked two US Navy destroyers and the Cyclades bulk carrier in the Red Sea, Reuters reported, citing the movement’s statement.
The report added on Monday that container ship MSC Orion in the Indian Ocean was also attacked.
Houthis have been launching attacks on commercial and military vessels in the region for months in response to Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip. The attacks prompted the United States to form a multinational coalition to protect shipping in the area, as well as to strike Houthi targets on the ground.
