The Ansar Allah group (Houthis) announced at dawn on Tuesday that it had targeted an American ship in the Red Sea with a number of missiles. The group's military spokesman, Yahya Saree, said, "Our missiles achieved an accurate hit on the American ship Pinocchio" The Houthis have been attacking Israeli ships in Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden since last November, in solidarity with the Gaza Strip, which has been subjected to Israeli aggression since last October 7.
