Houthi missile hits US-owned ship off Yemen coast, US officials say | BBC News
Houthis in Yemen have hit a US-owned ship with a missile, but no injuries or significant damage have been reported, American officials have said.
The vessel was hit “in response to strikes by the US and UK on Houthis in Yemen”, a British maritime security firm said.
The Iran-backed Houthis have been attacking cargo ships since November. They said these are Israeli-linked – though many have no connections with Israel.
Maritime security firm, Ambrey, said the vessel hit by the missile was “assessed to not be Israel-affiliated”.

Counter terrorism police are now leading the investigation into the death of former Conservative minister Ann Widdecombe, after “new information and evidence has come to light”, Counter Terrorism Policing South East (CTPSE) has said.
“The police are pursuing multiple lines of enquiry to establish the motivation for this attack. I will be updating the House further this afternoon,” Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said.
A 28-year-old white British man from Rotherham, South Yorkshire, was originally arrested on suspicion of murder on Saturday but has now been re-arrested “on suspicion of commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism”, CTPSE said.
Police said the “dynamic and complex investigation” had led to the new arrest.
On Thursday, 78-year-old Widdecombe was found dead at her home in Haytor, Devon, having sustained serious injuries.

Three members of his government, including Home Office minister Jess Phillips, have resigned, whilst scores of Labour MPs are calling for him to quit following a disastrous set of elections for the party last week.
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is among a number of cabinet ministers urging the prime minister to set out a departure timetable.
Sir Keir said he does not intend to quit and threw down the gauntlet to potential rivals to formally challenge him as Labour leader.
No MP has yet launched a formal bid to challenge him, which requires the backing of 81 colleagues or 20% of Labour MPs, according to party rules.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

The Yemeni Houthis only target Israeli ships or ships heading towards the State of Israel only, and the rest of the ships are free in the Red Sea, they do not target them, but rather they emphasize their protection and safety, so why did America and Britain come to protect Israel because it is now doing genocide against the Palestinian people, demolishing their homes and preventing food and medicine from reaching them?

Transparent propaganda. Doesn't it strike you as unbelievable that they would have no video or pictures of this "insignificantly damaged" ship? There's no pictures because the "insignificantly damaged" ship DOES NOT EXIST! Clearly, the US and GB are using this "missile against ships" business as justification to strike the Houthis with missiles. They're appealing to our consumeristic insecurity. The idea that we might not have car parts when we want them is all it took for us to turn a blind eye to our savage war making. We should be ashamed.

Our leaders fail to realise the Houthies have just endured 25 000 bombing attacks using the same technology and all it did was make them smarter and stronger. They have watched the west utterly fail in Afghanistan and Iraq, and it safe to assume the Houthi leadership regard our leadership as more than a little mentally challenged, and are very confident of their inevitable victory. Sometimes facts suck…

I agree with MP Sunak's report: the attacks in the red sea has nothing to do with what is happening in Gaza, Houthis seeks global attention for their selfish interest and that is unacceptable
