The Ansar Allah movement (Houthis) ruling in northern Yemen damaged another cargo ship with an attack drone, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) reported.

The Greek bulk carrier Transworld Navigator, flying the Liberian flag, received moderate damage and continues on its course from Malaysia to Egypt, according to a press release.
⠀
It is specified that there are casualties among the sailors.
⠀
The US military suggests that the strike was carried out using an unmanned aerial vehicle.

The United States and its allies regularly bomb Houthi targets in an attempt to force them to stop shelling ships in response to the Israeli military operation in the Gaza Strip.

The ruling Ansar Allah (Houthi) movement in northern Yemen, which controls most of Yemen’s Red Sea coast, previously announced its support for Palestine and its intention to attack any ships associated with Israel, calling on other countries to recall their crews from them and not approach them in the sea. At the same time, they stated that they do not interfere with freedom of navigation in the region and do not interfere with ships of other countries. Amid the attacks, some companies decided to suspend shipments through the Red Sea.
