DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Two attacks by Yemen’s Houthi rebels have targeted ships in the Red Sea as a new U.S. aircraft carrier approaches the region to provide security for the key international trade route that has been under assault since the Israel-Hamas war erupted nine months ago. Three small Houthi vessels attacked the Panama-flagged and Israeli-owned MT Bently I off the coast of Al Hudaydah, Yemen. The captain of the vessel also reported three separate waves of missile attacks that exploded in close proximity to the vessel. Later Monday, in a separate incident, the MT Chios Lion, a Liberian-flagged and Marshall Islands-owned oil tanker, was attacked by an uncrewed Houthi aerial vehicle. Both vessels and all crew are safe, according to British and American authorities.
