Yemen's Houthis said they conducted four military operations targeting four ships in the Red, Arabian and Mediterranean sea, as well as in the Indian Ocean, "connected to the USA, Great Britain and Israel", reported Reuters, quoted by BTA.

In the first operation, "the Israeli ship Unific was attacked in the Arabian Sea," said Yahya Sarea, a spokesman for the Yemeni group.

"The American oil tanker Delonix" has become the target of the second operation in the Red Sea "for the second time this week", he added.

The third operation was directed against the "British landing ship Anvil Point in the Indian Ocean", and the fourth operation - against the ship "Lucky Sailor".

Reuters notes that it has not been able to verify these claims.

Since November, Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis have carried out drone and missile strikes on sea lanes, claiming the operations are in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
