Yemen's Houthis has claimed attacks in the Mediterranean, the Red Sea, and the Arabian sea. The Iran-backed group says its attacks on shipping are in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. Yemen's Houthis launched attacks on six ships in three different seas, the Iran-backed group said on Wednesday, including the Marshall Islands-flagged bulk carrier Laax that was damaged after reporting a missile strike off the Yemeni coast. The Houthis attacked Laax in a barrage of attacks on Tuesday. The Houthis have promised to attack any ships sailing towards Israeli ports, even in the Mediterranean.
