Yemen’s Houthi movement claimed an attack on a US shipping vessel in the Gulf of Aden and said it will continue to consider all American and British ships in the Red Sea as targets.
The attack, which struck the Gibraltar Eagle vessel carrying steel products, occurred earlier on Monday and comes after the US and UK engaged in a series of air strikes on areas on mainland Yemen.
The Houthis described the attack as a “victory for the oppression of the Palestinian people”.
“The Yemeni armed forces consider all American and British ships and warships participating in the aggression against our country as hostile targets within the target bank of our forces,” the Houthis said in a statement on their Telegram channel.
