They have said they are disrupting vital trade routes in support of Palestinians during the Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip.
In a statement on Wednesday, the rebels said they had carried out a military operation “targeting the Tutor ship in the Red Sea using naval drones, aerial drones and ballistic missiles.”
The ship was attacked about 68 nautical miles (126 kilometers) southwest of the rebel-held port city of Hodeida, maritime security firm Embraer said earlier.
