ALBAWABA- Houthi military spokesman, Yahya Saree, confirmed the attacks, stating that three military operations were conducted within 24 hours.
Saree detailed the operations: the first targeted the ship Verbena in the Arabian Sea, the second targeted the Seaguardian vessel in the Red Sea, and the third targeted the ship Athina, also in the Red Sea. All three vessels were reportedly hit directly.
The Houthi-run Yemeni Armed Forces claimed these operations were carried out in support of Gaza. The escalation raises significant concerns about maritime security in the region.
The US Central Command reported that the Houthis hit a Ukrainian cargo tanker in the Gulf of Aden with two cruise missiles.
