 U.S. and British ships were hit again in the Red Sea. Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels said they struck U.S. and British ships in two separate attacks in the Red Sea, one of which was confirmed by a security firm. Houthi spokesman Yahya Sari said the first attack targeted the American ship Starnasia while the other targeted the British ship Morning Tide. He noted that both ships were struck with appropriate naval missiles. Sari went on to note that the missile attacks came in support of the oppressed Palestinian population in Gaza and in response to joint American British aggression against Yemen. He underscored that all U.S. and British warships in the Red Sea and the Arab Sea are legitimate targets for Yemenis within the legitimate right to respond to any act of aggression, defend their homeland and nation and in reaffirmation of their staunch support of Palestine. The senior Yemeni military figure also emphasised that his country's military will continue its anti-Israel operations until the Tel Aviv regime halts its onslaught against Gaza and lifts all restrictions on supplies of humanitarian aid for its residents. Security firm Ambri had earlier reported a drone attack on a British-owned cargo ship of rebel-held Yemen, the latest in dozens of incidents in the Red Sea. The Barbados flagged ship reportedly incurred minor damage on the port side in an attack off the rebel-held port city of Hodeidah. Ambri said, adding, there were no casualties. The ship speeded up and performed evasive manoeuvres before continuing south toward the Bab Al-Mandeb Strait. The firm said, British maritime security agency UKMTO said it had received a report of an incident off Hodeidah.
