Yemen's Houthis strike Singapore-flagged ship in Gulf of Aden

Yemen's Houthi group launched a missile attack on a commercial ship in the Gulf of Aden on Friday, continuing their escalation of tension in the region, said a pro-government Coast Guard official.

The official, who asked to remain anonymous, said a Singapore-flagged cargo ship, PROPEL FORTUNE, was targeted by missile fire while sailing about 50 nautical miles off the coast of Aden.

He confirmed that at least two missiles detonated in the vicinity of the vessel, although there were no immediate reports of casualties among the crew.
