“A suspected attack by Yemen’s Houthi rebels [sic] targeted a ship in the Red Sea on Thursday, officials said, as the militants increase their missile fire targeting Israel. The attack off the coast of Hodeida follows an Israeli strike last week that killed the rebels’ [sic] prime minister along with several officials. The Houthis have been using cluster munitions in the missile attacks on Israel — which open up with smaller explosives that can be harder to intercept, raising the chances of strikes as Israel prepares for a new ground offensive in its war on Hamas that’s decimated the Gaza Strip. The attack Thursday saw an ‘unknown projectile’ land off the side of a vessel as electronic interference was particularly intense, the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center said. It added that the ship and crew were safe after the apparent assault.” (09/04/25)
