Yemen's Ansar Allah movement, also known as the Houthis, confirmed the attack on Dutch ship Minervagracht using a cruise missile for violating the ban on entering Israeli ports.
"The naval force of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a military operation targeting the ship (MINERVAGRACHT) owing to the violation of the entry ban to the ports of occupied Palestine by the company that owns the ship. The targeting operation took place in the Gulf of Aden with a cruise missile. The operation resulted in a direct hit on the ship, which caught fire and is now at risk of sinking," the movement said in a statement on Tuesday.
