Yemen’s Houthis said they have targeted a tanker, MADO, in the Red Sea with naval missiles and Israel’s Eilat region with winged missiles, the group’s military spokesman Yahya Sarea said on Tuesday.
MADO is a Marshall-Islands flagged LPG tanker heading to Singapore from Saudi Arabia, maritime shipping trackers showed. The Houthis described it as American.
Iran-aligned Houthi militants have repeatedly launched drones and missiles at international commercial shipping in the Red Sea region since mid-November, saying they are acting in solidarity with Palestinians against Israel’s military actions in Gaza.
