Houthi rebels backed by Iran launched attacks on two commercial ships in the Gulf of Aden over the weekend, causing damage to both, though no injuries were reported.
Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen struck two commercial ships in the Gulf of Aden over the weekend, increasing the number of launched attacks since Nov. 19, 2023 to 175. Houthi attacks ramped up earlier this month after joint U.S.-U.K. strikes targeting several Houthi locations, including a weapons storage facility, missile launchers and a command-and-control center in Yemen.
One of the ASBMs struck the Liberian-flagged, Swiss-owned M/V Tavvishi, which is a container ship. The M/V Tavvishi was reportedly damaged in the strike but has continued to sail toward its destination. The second ASBM was destroyed by a coalition ship before it was able to strike its target. IDF CONFIRMS DEATHS OF 4 ISRAELI HOSTAGES IN HAMAS CAPTIVITY The second and separate Houthis attack involved one ASBM and one anti-ship cruise missile , which were launched into the Gulf of Aden.
No injuries were reported in either cargo ship strike. Houthis have been attacking shipping vessels in the Red Sea since late October. The militant group has said the attacks are in retaliation for Israel’s ongoing war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Since November, the Houthis have launched more than 50 attacks on ships, killed three sailors, seized one vessel, and sunk another, per the U.S. Maritime Administration.
