Three suspected attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels targeted a ship in the strategic Bab el-Mandeb Strait linking the Gulf of Aden to the Red Sea. The attacks included one where private security guards shot and destroyed a bomb-loaded drone boat, authorities confirmed on Friday.
The Houthis did not immediately claim responsibility for the assaults. These attacks come after a series of incidents targeting shipping through the Red Sea corridor, believed to be in response to Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip.
