According to U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), the strike targeted a site used by the Houthi rebels as a key hub for coordinating attacks on American naval vessels and merchant ships operating in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden

The Israeli military confirmed it intercepted the missile over central Israel, preventing it from crossing into Israeli territory. In a statement following the incident, the Houthis announced that their operation targeted the base in an “accurate hit” that reportedly sparked a fire

This latest missile launch comes amid growing tensions between Israel and Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen, whose long-range drone attacks and missile strikes have targeted Israeli cities in recent months

The Greek-owned oil tanker MV Sounion, which was attacked by Yemen's Houthi rebels in the Red Sea last week, remains engulfed in flames and may be leaking oil, according to a statement from the US Pentagon

Yemen's Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for targeting the Maersk Sentosa, an American-flagged vessel, with missiles in the Arabian Sea. The incident, reported by the rebels' military spokesperson Yahya Sarea in a televised address

The video, titled "Just try it," showcased aerial views and coordinates of major airports and ports in the kingdom, including Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport and Jeddah's King Abdulaziz International Airport, alongside key ports like Ras Tanura and Jizan

The maritime agency reported that the vessel survived five missile strikes, and the Houthis also targeted three other ships, including two in the Mediterranean in solidarity with Palestinians amidst the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas

The attack, which underscores rising tensions in the region, marks the second such incident targeting Red Sea shipping in recent weeks. The Tutor, a Liberian-flagged vessel operated by a Greek company, succumbed to a dual-pronged assault by Houthi forces utilizing drone boats

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) confirmed the ship sustained a breach, allowing water into the engine room, causing loss of control. Initial reports suggest a smaller vessel rammed the Tutor's rear before an "unknown projectile" struck it from the air

Despite the damage inflicted, the ship continued its voyage with no injuries reported among its crew. The Norderney is managed by Sunship Schiffahrtskontor, which has also not issued a statement

According to reports from a British maritime agency and the US military's Central Command (CENTCOM), the attacks occurred on Monday, with one Greek commercial vessel, the MV Cyclades, among the targets

The attack on the Barbados-flagged vessel, True Confidence, marks the first reported fatalities since the Iran-aligned Yemeni group initiated strikes against shipping in one of the world’s busiest maritime routes
