DUBAI, United Arab Emirates—An attack by Yemen’s Houthi extremists targeted a tanker in the Red Sea early Friday but the ship’s crew was unharmed, authorities said. It was the latest in the extremists’ campaign against shipping over Israel’s ongoing war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
The British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center initially reported the ship had been “struck by a missile” off the port city of Hodeida but later Friday said that further inspection of the vessel in daylight found no damage.
