The US military struck two Houthi truck-mounted anti-ship missiles in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen on Friday, US Central Command said, APA reports citing CNN.
Later in the day, Houthis fired two missiles from Yemen into the Gulf of Aden at the Singapore-owned ship, the M/V Propel Fortune, CENTCOM said.
The missiles did not hit the ship and there were no injuries.
The attack came three days after the first fatal assault by the Iran-backed militant group in its ongoing assaults in the Red Sea. At least three crew members were killed and four others injured on Wednesday in the Gulf of Aden after a Houthi ballistic missile struck the M/V True Confidence, a Barbados-flagged, Liberian-owned bulk carrier.
