Houthi forces in Yemen claim attacks on four cargo ships belonging to the US, UK, and Israel. Spokesman Yahya Saree detailed strikes on vessels in the Arabian Sea, Red Sea, Indian Ocean, and Mediterranean Sea using cruise and ballistic missiles. The Houthis vow continued attacks in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, expanding their targets to include US and UK military ships. This escalation follows US-UK strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen, amid ongoing regional tensions involving multiple nations.

The Houthis launched coordinated attacks on vessels in the Indian Ocean and Red Sea, targeting American and Israeli ships in solidarity with Palestinians and in retaliation for alleged American-British aggression. This followed Israeli airstrikes in Rafah, Gaza, killing at least 35 people. The Houthis had previously threatened increased attacks if Israel invaded Rafah, escalating regional hostilities.
