A commercial ship owned by a company in Liberia was subjected to a Houthi attack in the Gulf of Aden. Military and strategic expert Major General Fayez Al-Duwairi suggested that the ship was likely targeted by guided cruise missiles (land-sea) with a range exceeding 100 kilometers.
He ruled out hitting the target ship with ballistic missiles because they are not accurate in hitting moving targets. The strategic expert added that the Houthis control the vital mass of Yemen, from the outskirts of Marib to the Red Sea, while they have no presence at sea.
