Yemen's Houthi rebels targeted an oil tanker, the Panama-flagged, Greek-owned M/T Wind, in the Red Sea with a ballistic missile, according to the US military. The missile strike caused flooding and damaged the ship's propulsion and steering, but the crew managed to restore control, and no casualties were reported. The attack comes amid a series of Houthi assaults targeting shipping in the Red Sea, disrupting trade on a key maritime route leading to the Suez Canal and the Mediterranean Sea.
