Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi movement said on Sunday that it targeted MV Groton vessel in the Gulf of Aden and also confirmed that it had downed a US drone “MQ-9” over Yemen’s northern Saada province.
The attacks are the first to be claimed by the Houthis since Israel carried out a retaliatory airstrike against the group in the port of Hodeidah on July 20.

A suspected missile attack by Yemen’s Houthi militia struck a container ship traveling through the Gulf of Aden, authorities said Sunday, likely the first assault by the group since Israeli airstrikes targeted them.
ReplyDeleteThe Houthis have offered no explanation for the two-week pause in their attacks on shipping through the Red Sea corridor, which have seen similar slowdowns since the assaults began in November over Israel’s war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
