DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A ship traveling through the Red Sea has come under repeated missile fire in a likely attack launched by Yemen’s Houthi rebels. Five missiles landed near the vessel as it traveled off the coast of the rebel-held port city of Hodeida in Yemen on Friday. That’s according to the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center. The center added that the missiles landed near the vessel, but caused no damage. Houthi military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree late Friday night claimed two attacks on ships in the Red Sea, but it wasn’t immediately clear which ship was the one reported targeted by authorities.
