TWO ships travelling in Middle East waters were attacked by suspected Yemeni drones early today, authorities said, the latest assaults in the Iranian-backed fighters’ campaign of targeting vessels over Israel’s war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
The attacks are the latest in the campaign by the Houthi-led Yemen government to target specific vessels over Israel’s war on the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
The first attack happened in the southern part of the Red Sea, west of the Yemeni port of Hodeida, with the projectile causing “slight damage” to the vessel’s windows on the bridge, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations said.
