Thousands of Houthi supporters demonstrated in Sana'a to protest against the US and Israel and in support of Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip. Yemen's Houthis have fired some 384 missiles and drones at shipping vessels since mid-November 2023, when they started attacking maritime targets in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, according to Houthi leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi. The US-led coalition continues to strike Houthi targets in Yemen as it seeks to degrade the Houthis' abilities to attack commercial shipping vessels in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden amid high tensions in the Middle East. In light of increased maritime security threats, the US has designated the Houthis as a 'Specially Designated Global Terrorist Group'. EPA/YAHYA ARHAB

ROMA, 05 MAR - I ribelli yemeniti Houthi hanno attaccato la nave portacontainer Msc Sky II, battente bandiera liberiana e di proprietà svizzera, diretta verso Gibuti. A bordo è scoppiato un incendio poi domato dall'equipaggio. Il comandante ha fatto comunque sapere che non ci sono feriti a bordo. Lo rende noto il Centcom, spiegando che sono stati due i missili lanciati contro l'imbarcazione, a 91 miglia nautiche a sudest di Aden. Il primo è finito in acqua, mentre il secondo ha colpito la portacontainer causando alcuni danni. L'imbarcazione sta ora proseguendo la propria rotta.
