The Houthis targeted the US-owned and operated MV Torm Thor oil tanker in the Gulf of Aden, as militants continue to attack cargo lines in solidarity with Palestinians. In Gaza.
Quick added in a TV statement that the group had targeted the carrier “with a number of appropriate naval missiles.”
The guided-missile destroyer USS Mason on Saturday dropped an anti-ship ballistic missile called the Gulf of Eden from the Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen, which was most likely targeting the carrier, the US Central Command said.
The U.S. Central Command added in a statement that there was no damage to the destroyer USS Mason or OMV Torm Thor and there were no injuries.
The Houthis, who control the most populated parts of Yemen, have fired march jets and explosive missiles at commercial ships since November 19 in protest of Israeli military operations in Gaza.
The United States and Britain launched strikes on the targets of the Houthis in Yemen and the militia has reclassified a terrorist group.
Turbulence caused by the Israeli war with the Palestinian Islamic Hamas movement has extended somewhat to other parts of the Middle East.
Apart from Houthis attacks on vital cargo lanes, Iran-backed Lebanese Hezbollah exchanged fire with Israel along the Israeli-Lebanese border, and Iraqi pro-Iranian militias attacked bases hosting US forces.
