Yemen-based Houthi rebels from the Ansar Allah movement have attacked the UK vessel Rubymar in the Gulf of Aden with the ship sustaining serious damage and being at the risk of sinking, a statement by the rebels said.
"Yemen’s navy has carried out a military operation, striking the UK vessel Rubymar in the Gulf of Aden with several seaborne projectiles," the movement’s military spokesman, Yahya Sarea, said on his Telegram channel. The rebels claim that the vessel sustained "serious damage" and "is at the risk of sinking in the Gulf of Aden." "During the operation, we made sure that the crew left the vessel safely," the Houthis noted.
