Authorities reported that a ship traveling through the Red Sea was damaged on Friday by missiles believed to have been fired by Yemen's Houthi rebels. This incident comes amidst an increase in assaults by the Houthis following a period of reduced activity in their ongoing campaign related to Israel's conflict with Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
The private security firm Ambrey disclosed that three missiles were involved in the attack, with one landing closest to a Panama-flagged, Seychelles-registered tanker reportedly engaged in Russia-linked trade. The vessel, identified as the Andromeda Star, was en route from Primorsk, Russia, to Vadinar, India, according to ship-tracking data showing its location off Mocha, Yemen.
