Dubai, Feb 12 (AP) A ship came under attack by two missiles in the key Bab el-Mandeb Strait on Monday, the latest assault believed to have been carried out by Yemen's Houthi rebels.
No one was wounded in the attack and the ship was continuing on its journey, the British military's United Kingdom Trade Operations centre said in a statement.
It wasn't clear how much damage was done to the ship.
The Houthis did not immediately claim the attack, but it often takes the rebels several hours to acknowledge their assaults.
