[Regnum] One of the Houthi operations was carried out against a target in the Mediterranean Sea, the leader of the Yemeni Ansar Allah movement, Abdel Malik al-Houthi, said on May 23, whose speech was broadcast by Al Masirah TV channel.
“One of our military operations this week was against a target in the Mediterranean,” he said.
According to the Houthi leader, a total of eight operations were carried out this week using 15 missiles and drones in the Red and Arabian Seas, the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean. In total, he said, the number of ships associated with Israel, the United States and Britain that were attacked reached 119.
As Regnum reported, on May 18, off the coast of the Yemeni city of Moha, an oil tanker was hit by a rocket. After this, a fire broke out on board. The ship was flying the flag of Panama. It received minor damage and continued to its next port of call.
Later, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) clarified that the Houthis allegedly attacked the M/T Wind oil tanker, which was allegedly heading to China. The US military claims that the ship moored in Russia before the voyage. It was operated by a Greek operator but flew the Panamanian flag.
On May 15, the Houthis said they attacked the US destroyer Mason in the Red Sea with a missile. In addition, they also launched a missile attack on the commercial ship Destiny, which was heading to the Israeli port of Eilat.
On May 8, the head of the Houthi Supreme Political Council, Mahdi al-Mashat, said at a military parade that the United States was sending “tempting offers” to stop the movement from attacking merchant ships in the Red Sea. He called these steps by the American leadership humiliating.
Al-Mashat said the Houthis will continue their attacks in support of the Gaza Strip, whose residents are suffering from attacks by the Israeli army.

Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements.

rebels.
The vessel was "suspiciously approached" 68 nautical miles (125 kilometers) off Hodeidah, Ambrey said, without identifying the ship or the flag that it was flying.
"The vessel had undergone what she described as a ’missile attack’ at the location," it added, noting that "no injuries or damages were reported."
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations, run by the Royal Navy, also reported an incident at the same location near the crucial Bab el-Mandeb Strait in the southern Red Sea, with "a missile impacting the water in close proximity" to the ship.
"Vessel and all crew are safe and proceeding to next port of call," it said in an advisory.
On Wednesday, US military forces shot down four drones in Houthi-controlled parts of Yemen, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said.
"It was determined these systems presented an imminent threat to US coalition forces, and merchant vessels in the region," CENTCOM posted on social media platform X.
A day earlier the Iran-backed Houthis claimed that they had shot down an American drone over the country on the Arabian Peninsula. The US military acknowledged reports but didn’t comment.
