Yemen's Houthis Claim Drone Attack on MEGALOPOLIS Ship in Arabian Sea Using Several Drones
Oct 18, 2024, 08:24 PM
Yemen's Houthi forces have claimed responsibility for a drone attack on the Maltese-flagged container ship 'MEGALOPOLIS' in the Arabian Sea. The attack was reportedly carried out using several drones in response to the ship's violation of Yemeni law, which bans ships and companies linked to Israel from shipping. The Houthis, backed by Iran, stated that the vessel was targeted due to its connection to Israeli ports. Yahya Saari, spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, confirmed the successful execution of the attack. This incident adds to the ongoing conflict in the region, with reports of fresh US-British airstrikes against Houthi positions in Yemen's Hodeidah. Additionally, a US official mentioned that Houthi-targeted weapons are used against navigation.
