Yemen's Houthi rebels said last night that their forces attacked two ships in the Red Sea and in the Indian Ocean, reported Reuters, quoted by BTA.
The first ship, "Transworld Navigator" (Transworld Navigator), was attacked in the Red Sea by an "unmanned surface boat", resulting in a direct hit to the ship, Houthi military spokesman Yahya Sari said.
The second ship, "Stolt Sequoia" (Stolt Sequoia), was attacked in the Indian Ocean with several cruise missiles, he added.
The spokesman said the ships belonged to companies that "violated the ban on entering the ports of occupied Palestine".
It is not clear when exactly the attacks were carried out, notes Reuters.
Since November, Yemen's Houthi rebels have carried out drone and missile strikes on sea lanes, claiming they were acting in solidarity with Palestinians in Israel's war in Gaza.
In dozens of attacks, the Houthis sank two ships, captured another and killed at least three sailors.
