Houthis target Greek-owned ship in Red Sea

Yemen's Houthis targeted the Greek-owned merchant 'Tutor ship' in the Red Sea, Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said in a televised speech on Wednesday, adding that the ship was hit and faced the danger of sinking.

The attack was announced in a statement by the group, saying that "a naval drone, aerial drones and ballistic missiles" were used in the targeting of the coal carrier ship.

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations, which is run by Britain's Royal Navy, said a ship was "hit on the stern by a small craft", 66 nautical miles southwest of Yemen's port city Hodeida.
