Yemen's Houthi rebels suspected of missile attack targeting a ship in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait

The Marshall Islands-flagged bulk carrier Star Iris was attacked by two missiles in the Red Sea as it was sailing from Brazil to Iran. The ship and crew suffered minor damage, but no casualties were reported.
The UK Maritime Trade Operations agency confirmed the attack and stated that the vessel was proceeding to its next port of call. The ship's owner was listed on the Nasdaq stock market in the US, which may have been the motive for the attack.
The Houthis claimed responsibility for the attack and stated that they targeted the ship due to their opposition to Israel's actions in Gaza and the ongoing American-British aggression in Yemen.
