The Houthi group in Yemen on Monday claimed responsibility for the missile attack against what they described as a “British ship” on Sunday in the Gulf of Aden.
“Our naval forces have attacked the British ship, Rubymar, in the Gulf of Aden with a number of missiles,” Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea said in a televised statement aired by his group’s satellite TV channel al-Masirah, adding that the missiles were an accurate hit.
“Our attack damaged the ship, causing it to stop completely … The ship is now at risk of sinking in the Gulf of Aden,” he said.
