A commercial ship in the Gulf of Aden witnessed explosions nearby, reportedly attributed to Yemen's Houthi rebels targeting the shipping route, according to authorities on Saturday.
The recent firing by the Houthis follows the sinking of the ship Tutor earlier this week, signaling a heightened escalation by the Iranian-backed Houthis in their ongoing campaign of ship attacks in the crucial maritime corridor, amidst the Israel-Hamas conflict in the Gaza Strip.
