According to a spokesman for the Ansar Allah movement, commercial vessels have been warned of the traffic ban.
Yahya Saria, a spokesman for the Houthi movement ruling northern Yemen, said that two U.S. Army destroyers and the civilian bulk carrier Cyclades were attacked by drones in the Red Sea. In addition, the container ship MSC Orion was attacked in the Indian Ocean.
Saria said on Al Masirah TV channel that the bulk carrier Cyclades violated the ban on the passage of ships to occupied Palestinian ports. Another commercial vessel was identified as an Israeli vessel.
All four targets were hit.
The UK Navy's UK Merchant Shipping Coordination Center (UKMTO) confirms the attack on the Cyclades. There were no injuries to the crew.
The Houthis demand a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. Until then, they will shell ships in the Red Sea.
