[Regnum] The Yemeni rebel movement Ansar Allah (Houthis) has recently attacked six commercial ships, one of which was in the Mediterranean Sea. This was announced on May 29 by the military representative of the movement, Yahya Saria, on the Al Masirah TV channel.
According to a military spokesman, the movement carried out strikes using drones, as well as anti-ship and ballistic missiles against the Laax, Morea and Sealady in the Red Sea, as well as the Alba and Maersk Hartford in the Arabian Sea.
According to Saria, all these vessels were damaged as a result of the strikes.
“The target of the sixth military operation was the Minerva Antonia, which was attacked in the Mediterranean Sea by several cruise missiles,” he said.
As Regnum reported, on May 28, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) reported a Houthi missile attack in the Red Sea on the Greek ship Laax, sailing under the flag of the Marshall Islands. According to the US military, the Ansar Allah movement fired five anti-ship ballistic missiles towards the ship, at least three of which reached their target.
Saria reported on May 24 that the Houthis first attacked the commercial ship Essex en route to Israel in the Mediterranean Sea. The movement also hit the MSC Alexandra in the Arabian Sea and the Yannis in the Red Sea, he said.
Houthi leader Abdel Malik al-Houthi said on May 23 that the movement carried out one of the operations in the Mediterranean Sea. He clarified that in total, 119 ships associated with Israel, the United States and Britain were attacked.
The Houthis began attacks on ships associated with Israel in the fall of 2023 after the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East and the launch of a ground operation by the Israeli military in the Gaza Strip in support of the Palestinian Hamas movement. The actions of the Yemeni movement contributed to a decrease in the level of maritime transport and its rise in cost. In mid-January, the United States and Great Britain began striking Houthi positions, but the movement's attacks did not stop.

Houthis say they shot down an American MQ-9 Reaper drone.
Houthis from the rebel Ansar Allah movement shot down an American MQ-9 Reaper drone in the skies over Yemen, said the movement's military spokesman Yahya Sari, quoted by Al Masirah TV channel.
“The air defense forces of the Yemeni Armed Forces managed to shoot down an American MQ-9 drone early on Wednesday morning while it was carrying out a hostile mission in the skies over Marib province,” he said.
Sariya added that the Houthis destroyed the UAV using a locally produced anti-aircraft missile system.
According to him, this is the sixth American drone shot down by the Houthis since the beginning of the escalation in the region, which followed the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in the Gaza Strip in October 2023.
On the same day, a representative of the movement informed that Ansar Allah had recently attacked six commercial ships, one of which was in the Mediterranean Sea.
As reported by IA Regnum, on May 24, Saria stated that the Houthis for the first time attacked the Essex commercial ship en route to Israel in the Mediterranean Sea. The movement also hit the MSC Alexandra in the Arabian Sea and the Yannis in the Red Sea, he said.
