An Antigua and Barbuda-flagged cargo ship was hit by a missile in the Gulf of Aden in a suspected attack by Yemen's Houthi rebels. The missile struck the ship's forward station, causing a fire that was later extinguished by the crew. A separate incident saw another vessel hit by an unknown projectile 70 nautical miles southwest of Aden, resulting in a fire but no casualties. No group has claimed the attacks, which occurred amid a months-long campaign by the Houthi group, which controls much of Yemen, targeting vessels off the country's coast to show solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
