The Houthi rebels in Yemen have attacked another ship of the United States in the Gulf of Aden after the beginning of the US and the United Kingdom's airstrikes against their positions, Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said Wednesday.
"Yemen's navy carried out attacks with the use of anti-ship missiles on a US ship in the Gulf of Aden in response to the aggression against the territory of Yemen,"
the spokesman said in a televised appearance on the Al Masirah
broadcaster, adding that Yemen's navy would respond to any attacks
against the republic.
According
to the spokesman's post on X (formerly Twitter), the Houthis have
targeted a US cargo ship identified as Genco Picardy in the Gulf of
Aden, which has been hit with several "naval missiles, leaving direct
hits."
The
spokesman said the movement "will not hesitate to target all sources of
threat in the Arab and Red Seas," adding that "a retaliation to the American and British attacks is unavoidable."
According
to marine traffic data, the bulk carrier Genco Picardy was heading to
the port of Thoothukudi in India from Egypt under the flag of the
Marshall Islands.
On Monday, the Houthis targeted a US-owned and operated container ship in the Gulf of Aden after the beginning of the US and UK airstrikes.
