The Houthi rebels, who control large areas of Yemen, have claimed responsibility this Wednesday for a missile attack that caused damage to a Greek-owned ship in the Red Sea, in a report in which they have also stated that they have launched a attack against another ship in the Mediterranean.

In total, the insurgents, who have intensified their attacks against ships in retaliation for the Israeli military offensive on the Gaza Strip, have reported six attacks, including the one that affected the ship ‘Laax’, flagged by the Marshall Islands and owned Greek, which would have suffered “serious damage”. On Tuesday, she was attacked with three missiles, according to the US Central Command (CENTCOM).

The list of alleged “military operations” includes actions in the Arabian Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. In the latter case, the target would have been the freighter ‘Minerva Antonia’, at which missiles would have been fired, according to the Houthi note, which does not give further details.

The Yemeni rebels had already warned that they would expand their actions to the Mediterranean to avenge the “brothers” of the Gaza Strip and punish those who continue to maintain economic ties with Israel, although there is no evidence that they have the capacity to successfully carry out such attacks. at such a distance.
