On the evening of the 16th local time, Yahya Saria, a military spokesman for the Yemeni Houthi armed forces, said in a speech that the Houthi armed forces launched three attacks. The first attack was a missile strike on an American destroyer in the Red Sea. A second missile attack was carried out on the cargo ship Captain Paris in the Red Sea. The third was a drone attack on the Happy Condor cargo ship in the Arabian Sea.
According to foreign media reports, the crew of the MV Tutor cargo ship, which was severely damaged by the fire of the Yemeni Houthi armed attack on June 12, has abandoned the ship and evacuated, and the ship has been abandoned and is drifting on the Red Sea. The US Central Command also said on the 14th that the ship's crew had abandoned ship and the cargo ship was slowly taking on water. One sailor is missing after the attack.
Yahya also said that the Houthis will continue to carry out relevant military operations in support of the Palestinian people. The Houthis will not stop their military operations until the aggression against Palestine stops and the blockade against the Palestinian people is lifted. In just a few days, it attacked more than 10 ships, resulting in fire damage to the ship and injured crew missing. It is expected that for a long time to come, as long as the conflict in Gaza does not end, the conflict in the Red Sea region cannot end, and the incident of Houthi armed attacks on ships will not end.
