Yemen’s Houthi rebels have targeted a US-owned cargo ship with a kamikaze drone just hours after Washington put the group back on its list of global terrorists.
The drone smashed into the Genco Picardy bulk carrier late on Wednesday, 70 miles (110km) southeast of Aden, causing a fire that was soon extinguished, according to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations organisation. It added: “Vessel and crew are safe and proceeding to next port of call.”
