Houthi Rebels Suspected in Red Sea Ship Attack

A ship near East Africa was damaged by projectiles amid ongoing threats linked to the Israel-Hamas conflict.

The attack targeted a Liberian-flagged chemical tanker, causing damage but no injuries or fire.
At least two additional projectiles were reported to have fallen near the vessel, which was distant from the Houthi-controlled port of Hodeida.
The Houthis have targeted over 80 merchant vessels with missiles and drones since the start of the Gaza conflict in October.
The rebels claim to target ships associated with Israel, the U.S., or the U.K., although many affected vessels have no direct link to the conflict.
Previous attacks by the Houthis have resulted in the seizure of one ship, the sinking of two others, and the deaths of four sailors.
