Yemen's Houthis say they targeted two Israeli ships in Red Sea: Report

Yemen's Houthi movement says it has targeted two Israeli ships with an armed drone and a naval missile, reports a spokesperson for the group's military. The spokesperson said the two ships, Unity Explorer and Number Nine, were targeted after they rejected warnings from the group's navy, the Reuters news agency reported on Sunday. British maritime security company Ambrey said a bulk carrier ship had been hit by at least two drones while sailing in the Red Sea. Another container ship reportedly suffered damage from a drone attack about 101km (63 miles) northwest of the northern Yemeni port of Hodeida, it added. The Pentagon also said a US warship and multiple commercial ships came under attack in the Red Sea, potentially marking a major escalation in a series of maritime attacks since the Israel-Hamas war began on October 7. "We are aware of reports regarding attacks on the USS Carney and commercial vessels in the Red Sea and will provide information as it becomes available," the Pentagon said.
