Houthi

The Houthi movement in Yemen said in a statement Friday it has carried out a missile attack against a U.S. ship in the Gulf of Aden, AFP reports. It said Houthi “naval forces” attacked the U.S. chemical tanker “Chem Ranger” with several missiles, some of which it said hit the ship “directly”. The British security firm Ambrey said it was an American-owned ship flying the Marshall Islands flag. “No deaths or injuries have been reported,” the company says. /ritzau/
