Yemen’s Houthi movement said it carried out a new attack on a vessel in the Red Sea, claiming the ship had links to Israel. The group framed the strike as part of its ongoing campaign tied to the war in Gaza.

The claim, reported by Reuters, adds to a series of Houthi attacks that have disrupted one of the world’s busiest shipping corridors. Maritime traffic in the region has faced repeated security risks as the conflict has widened beyond Gaza.

The Houthis have repeatedly said their operations are meant to pressure Israel and its allies, but the attacks have also raised concerns about civilian shipping, commercial trade, and the safety of crews navigating the Red Sea.

No independent confirmation of the latest strike was included in the initial report. The incident underscores how regional militias continue to use cross-border attacks to project force while ordinary commercial shipping bears the consequences.
