Fire Engulfs Ship Near Yemen's Aden Port After Shelling - UK Maritime Trade Authority

Yemen's rebel Ansar Allah movement, the Houthis, has been launching attacks on commercial and military vessels for months, in response to Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip. The attacks prompted the United States to form a multinational coalition to protect shipping in the area, as well as to strike Houthi targets on the ground.
