DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A ship traveling through the Red Sea has reported being hit in an attack likely carried out by Yemen’s Houthi rebels, the latest in the campaign targeting shipping over the Israel-Hamas war. The ship issued a radio call off the coast of the rebel-held port city of Hodeida, saying it had been struck. That’s according to the private security firm Ambrey, which added that a warship in the area was responding to the attack. It wasn’t clear if anyone was hurt or if the ship was damaged in the assault on the vessel. Neither the British nor U.S. militaries immediately reported the attack. The Houthis did not immediately claim the attack. However, it can take hours or even days for them to acknowledge their assaults.
