The US military said that the Houthis in Yemen launched three anti-ship ballistic missiles towards the Red Sea from areas in Yemen, which caused minor damage to the Andromeda Star ship.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM ) reported on the X website: ‘A missile fell in the vicinity of a second ship named Maysha, but it was not damaged.’
The British maritime security company Embrey reported that three missiles were detected about 15 nautical miles southwest of the Yemeni city of Mokha.
The British Maritime Trade Operations Authority said: ‘One of the ships was damaged.’
On the other hand, Houthi forces said that they shot down an American MQ9 drone in the airspace of the Yemeni Saada Governorate.
Yahya Saree, the military spokesman for the Yemeni Houthi group, said in a speech broadcast on television: ‘The group targeted the ship Andromeda Star, a British oil ship, in the Red Sea.’
