DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Suspected attacks by Yemen’s Houthi rebels have targeted two ships in the Red Sea. The attacks Monday occurred near where crews hope to salvage a tanker loaded with oil and still ablaze after another assault by the group. In Monday’s first assault, two projectiles hit a vessel, and a third explosion occurred near the ship. That’s according to the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center. The private security firm Ambrey said the second assault saw an aerial drone smashed into a vessel, though there were no reported injuries or damage from the attack. The Houthis did not immediately claim responsibility for the attacks. However, it can take the rebels hours or even days to acknowledge their assaults.
