The Houthi rebel group, backed by Iran, claimed responsibility for firing missiles at two ships in the Red Sea - one American and one British vessel. The attacks occurred near Yemen's ports, causing minor damage. The US military confirmed the incidents, stating that six anti-ship ballistic missiles were launched by the Houthis, with one intercepted. While the exact cause of the explosions is unclear, both vessels, including one headed to India, sustained no injuries or significant damage. The Houthis have been targeting commercial ships in the Red Sea since October, citing solidarity with Palestinians amid the Israel-Hamas conflict.
