The Houthis claim an attack on an American ship
The Houthis, an Iran-backed movement that supports the Palestinian Hamas movement in its conflict with Israel, claimed responsibility on Monday for an attack on a US military ship off the coast of Yemen.
The movement's spokesman, Yahya Saree, said that the Houthi forces “carried out a military operation targeting the American military cargo ship Ocean Gas in the Gulf of Aden.”
A US defense official contacted by Agence France-Presse described this information as “false.”
Since mid-November, the Houthis have attacked what they consider to be ships linked to Israel in the region The Red Sea in solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza, disrupting maritime traffic and prompting the US and UK to carry out retaliatory attacks.
