A suspected missile attack by Yemen's Houthi rebels targeted a container ship in the Gulf of Aden, marking a significant escalation in the region. The attack, which occurred southeast of Aden, did not result in any fires, water ingress, or oil leaks on the vessel, according to authorities.
The vessel in question, believed to be the Liberian-flagged container ship Groton, was en route from Fujairah in the United Arab Emirates to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia when it was struck. The Houthis, known for their attacks on shipping in the Red Sea corridor, have not yet claimed responsibility for this latest assault.
