Houthi Missile Targets U.S Tanker In the Gulf of Aden

Yemen's Houthis targeted MT Torm Thor, a US-flagged, owned, and operated oil tanker, in the Gulf of Aden.

Neither the USS Mason nor MT Torm Thor was damaged, and there were no injuries, CENTCOM added in a statement.

This incident marks a continuation of attacks on commercial shipping to protest against Israeli military operations in Gaza.

In response, the US and Britain have conducted strikes on Houthi positions in Yemen and have reclassified the militia as a terrorist organisation.

The conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza has killed thousands of Palestinians.

Other Iran-supported groups and pro-Iran Iraqi militias have also targeted Israeli forces and US bases in the region.
