Houthis promise more attacks on British ships

Yemen's Houthi rebels have promised to sink more British ships as they continue to threaten Middle Eastern waterways in retaliation for Israel's war on Gaza.
The warning came as the US military confirmed on Saturday that the UK-owned vessel Rubymar had sunk after being struck by a Houthi anti-ship missile on 18 February.
The Houthi movement, also known as Ansar Allah, has risen to global prominence for its attacks on commercial and military shipping, in what it says is a response to Israel's invasion of Gaza.
