  • The Houthis claim the attack was due to the ship's company making recent port calls in Israel.
  • This marks the resumption of Houthi attacks on shipping after a two-week pause.
  • The Houthis also claimed to have shot down a U.S. spy drone, showing footage of the wreckage.
  • U.S. military forces destroyed a Houthi missile and launcher in Yemen in response.
