Houthi rebels in Yemen say they attacked with missiles the cargo ship "Robimar" in the Gulf of Aden, which they claim is now in danger of sinking. The Houthi spokesman, Yahya Sarie, said that the crew members are safe.

According to him, the Houthis also shot down an American MQ9 drone in the port city of Hodeidah. At the same time, the British Maritime Trade Agency reported that crew members abandoned a ship off the coast of Yemen after an explosion damaged it.
