Two suspected attacks by Yemen’s Houthi rebels targeted ships in the Red Sea on Monday, as a new U.S. aircraft carrier approached the region to provide security for the key international trade route that has been under assault since the Israel-Hamas war erupted nine months ago.
The first targeted ship reported being attacked by three small vessels off the coast of Al Hudaydah, Yemen. The vessels were reported to have collided with the ship and fired at it, but the ship managed to conduct self-protection measures, forcing the attackers to abort the attack. Subsequently, two waves of missile attacks were launched at the vessel.
