US Military Reports Houthi Attacks On 2 Ships In Gulf Of Aden

Missile attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels struck two ships in the Gulf of Aden, authorities said on June 10, the latest assaults on shipping in the region.

One anti-ship ballistic cruise missile hit the Antigua- and Barbuda-flagged cargo ship Norderney forward station late Saturday, starting a fire that those on board put out, the U.S. military's Central Command said. It added that a second anti-ship cruise missile also hit the Norderney.

The British military's United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center similarly reported the attack and fire in the same area off Aden, saying “damage control is underway."
