The French shipping company CMA CGM said one of its container ships in the Red Sea was unharmed after Yemen’s Houthis claimed on Wednesday to have targeted it, as part of its ongoing attack of commercial shipping vessels it considers to be doing business with Israel.

The Houthis' military spokesperson Yahya Sarea said in a televised speech Wednesday that the group, which controls much of Yemen, including the capital, had "targeted" the CMA CGM Tage container ship, without giving details on when or where the incident had taken place.
