Yemen's Houthis target four vessels in Gulf of Aden, spokesman says

Yemen's Houthis targeted four vessels, including what was described as a U.S. warship, in the Gulf of Aden, on Wednesday, the Iran-aligned group's military spokesman Yahya Sarea said in a televised speech.

Houthi forces have staged attacks on shipping in the Red Sea region for months in solidarity with Palestinians fighting Israel in the Gaza war.
