Houthi Forces Strike British Destroyer and Commercial Vessels in Red Sea

Yemen's Houthi group claims to have fired ballistic missiles at the British destroyer HMS Diamond in the Red Sea. While the accuracy of the strike was asserted, damage was not confirmed. Additionally, the Houthis reported attacks on two commercial vessels, causing a fire on the Norderney.

Yemen's Houthi group said on Sunday it had fired ballistic missiles at a British destroyer, the HMS Diamond, in the Red Sea.

The Houthis said in a statement the strike was "accurate" but did not say whether it had caused any damage.

They said they had also attacked two commercial vessels which they identified as the Norderney and Tavvishi. The statement said the Tavvishi - which was in the Arabian Sea - and the Norderney had both been hit, and that a fire broke out on the Norderney.
