Houthis claim attack on cargo ship

A missile attack by Yemen's Houthi rebels hit an Antiguaand Barbuda-flagged cargo ship in the Gulf of Aden, the latest assault on shipping in the region.

The missile hit the ship's forward station late Saturday, starting a fire that those on board later put out, the private security firm Ambrey said.

A second missile fired at the ship missed and people "on board small boats in the vicinity opened fire on the ship during the incident,” Ambrey added, though no one was hurt onboard. The British military's United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center similarly reported the attack and fire in the same area off Aden, saying "damage control is underway."
