YEMEN’S Houthi-led government is suspected of launching a fresh missile attack today near the key Israeli port city of Eilat that left a British-owned ship on fire, authorities said.
This is the second British-owned ship targeted by the Yemenis this week.
The attack in the Gulf of Aden saw two missiles fired, the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations centre said.
