Two suspected attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels strike ships in the Red Sea

Two suspected attacks by Yemen’s Houthi rebels have targeted ships in the Red Sea, as a new U.S. aircraft carrier approached 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. The captain of the first targeted ship reported being attacked Monday by three small vessels as well as two separate waves of missile attacks that exploded in close proximity to the vessel. Later on Monday, in a separate incident, a vessel reported being attacked by a suspected uncrewed Houthi aerial vehicle. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center says that both vessels and all crew are safe.
