Yemenis continue to target ships in the Red Sea, despite US and British attacks
FORCES from Yemen’s Houthi-led government targeted a Liberian-flagged container ship in the Red Sea with missiles on Monday, authorities said.
Yemen’s military spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree said in a prerecorded statement that the vessel, the Pinocchio, was a US ship.
The master of the vessel reported the explosion and said no-one had been hurt, the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations centre said.
