The British maritime security company Ambrey announced on Wednesday that a Houthi missile hit a ship flying the Maltese flag in the Red Sea, 100 nautical miles from Al-Salif Port in Hodeidah

Embry did not clarify the nature of the injury, but said that the ship was on its way to the port of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia.

Yesterday, the Houthi militia targeted an American oil tanker, sustaining a minor injury, and it continued sailing without serious damage.

This Houthi attack comes within the framework of its continued escalation of its military operations against commercial ships in the Red Sea, which threatens to obstruct international shipping traffic in this vital corridor.
