The Shiite movement Ansar Allah (Houthis) ruling in northern Yemen said they attacked a US ship off the Yemeni coast near the town of al-Mukalla. It marks the third attack on US ships since the launch of strikes on Houthi positions in Yemen a week ago, the Al Jazeera broadcaster reported Thursday, citing a Houthi military source.
Yahya Saria, a spokesman for Yemen s Ansar Allah rebel movement said the attack came in response to US and UK strikes on Ansar Allah facilities in Yemen
