Houthi rebels attack Singapore-flagged vessel in Gulf of Aden, US military confirms no injuries or damages.
An attack by Yemen's Houthi rebels on Friday set off explosions ahead of a Singapore-flagged vessel in the Gulf of Aden, authorities said.
The attack targeted the bulk carrier Propel Fortune, which continued on its way, according to the United States military's Central Command.
“The missiles did not impact the vessel,” Central Command said. “There were no injuries or damages reported.”
The Houthis did not immediately claim responsibility for the attack. A statement from Houthi military spokesperson Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree was delayed Friday night over “urgent military developments in the theatre of military operations,” according to the rebel-controlled SABA news agency. He was scheduled to speak Saturday.
Early Saturday, the U.S. Navy, allied warships and aircraft shot down 15 bomb-carrying Houthi drones in the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea, American officials said.
Friday's explosions came after a Houthi missile struck a commercial ship in the Gulf of Aden on Wednesday, killing three of its crew members and forcing survivors to abandon the vessel.
