Houthi rebels in Yemen have claimed responsibility for a trio of attacks targeting commercial ships on July 15, including an explosive drone boat attack that damaged an oil tanker.
The Houthis—a Zaydi Shiite faction listed as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT) group by the U.S. government—claimed credit for two attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea and another in the Mediterranean Sea.
