Йеменские хуситы, Красное море

Ships will have to obtain a permit from Yemen's Houthi-controlled Maritime Affairs Authority before entering Yemeni waters, Houthi Telecommunications Minister Misfer Al-Numair said on Monday.

The crew of a British bulk carrier in the Red Sea off Yemen were forced to abandon ship Monday after the vessel was struck by two missiles fired by Iran-backed Houthi rebels.

Yemen's Houthis claimed responsibility for a missile attack on Barbados-flagged bulk carrier "Lycavitos" in the Gulf of Aden on Thursday, the Iran-aligned militants said in a statement.
