Houthi rebels took responsibility
The US military said the ship was attacked twice with missiles. The British Army’s Maritime Trade Operations Center also reported attacks in this area of ​​Aden, saying efforts were on to control the damage. Houthi army spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Sari issued a video message on Sunday claiming responsibility for the attack and said the ship was targeted by both missiles and drones.

This was revealed

An analysis by The Associated Press showed that the Nordi ship was in the Gulf of Aden by Sunday afternoon. In the second attack, Houthi rebels targeted the Liberian-flagged cargo ship Tavishi in the Gulf of Aden with a ballistic missile. Sari claimed the attack was carried out in the Arabian Sea, although no evidence was provided. Data showed that Tavishi was in the Gulf of Aden at the time of the attack.

The missile attack was foiled

The US Army’s Central Command said, “Tavishi has suffered damage but is moving forward.” The army said that the second ballistic missile fired by the Houthi rebels on the ship was shot down by a warship. Sari also claimed an attack on a warship, but this attack was not confirmed.
