SANA’A: Yemen’s Huthi rebels announced they fired a missile at a commercial tanker in the Red Sea on Monday.
This attack occurred just days after an Israeli strike killed their prime minister.
The Iran-backed group claimed they successfully hit the Liberian-flagged Scarlet Ray vessel.
They previously sank two tankers in July during ongoing regional hostilities.
United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations reported the missile missed its intended target.
