[Regnum] The Yemeni Houthi rebel movement Ansar Allah carried out strikes on Israeli and American ships in the Red and Arabian Seas. This was announced on February 20 in a statement by the military representative of the movement, Yahya Saria, on his page on the social network X (formerly Twitter).
It is clarified that the Yemeni air and naval forces carried out operations using drones and anti-ship missiles. In the Red and Arabian Seas, the Yemeni Air Force attacked a number of American warships, and in the Gulf of Aden, the Yemeni Navy conducted an operation against the Israeli vessel MSC Silver.

In addition, Saria indicated that the Houthis carried out drone strikes on “sensitive targets of the Israeli enemy” in the city of Eilat, located on the Red Sea coast. This information was not confirmed in Israel.
Earlier, Regnum news agency reported that another attack on a ship off the coast of Yemen on February 19 was reported by the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO). Notification of the incident was received from the ship's captain at 21:20 Moscow time.
...bound for the port of Aden in Yemen. One of the missiles detonated near the ship causing minor damage. Nevertheless, her crew proceeded on course to their ultimate destination: delivering grain to Aden, Yemen, for the benefit of the Yemeni people. M/V Sea Champion has delivered humanitarian aid to Yemen 11 times in the past five years.
Houthi aggression in the region has exacerbated already high levels of need in conflict-impacted Yemen, which remains one of the largest humanitarian crises in the world, with nearly 80 percent of the entire population needing humanitarian assistance. We are committed to countering the Houthis’ malign activities, which directly endanger the imports of foodstuff and humanitarian aid to Yemen.
