Houthis launch attacks on ships in nearby seas

Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis said on Monday they launched attacks on three ships in the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea and two US destroyers in the Red Sea.

Houthi militants, who describe their attacks on ships as acts of solidarity with Palestinians in Israel's war in Gaza, named three of the ships as the Larego Desert and the MSC Mechela in the Indian Ocean, and the Minerva Lisa in the Red Sea.
