Yemen’s Houthis targeted Verbena ship in the Arabian sea and Seaguardian ship and Athina ship in the Red Sea, the Iran-aligned group’s military spokesman Yahya Saree said in a televised speech on Thursday.
Yemen’s Houthis launched two anti-ship cruise missiles which hit vessel M/V Verbena in the Gulf of Aden and resulted in a fire erupting on board , the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said on Thursday.
One civilian mariner was severely injured, CENTCOM said. M/V Verbena, a Palauan-flagged, Ukrainian-owned, Polish-operated bulk cargo carrier, reported damage, CENTCOM added in a statement.
