Cargo ship comes under fire off coast of Houthi-controlled Yemen

A cargo ship was attacked by armed assailants off the coast of Yemen, near the city of Hodeida controlled by the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels. The UK Maritime Trade Operations center reported the incident, stating that the attackers approached the vessel in a small boat and opened fire, prompting the ship's security personnel to return fire. The attackers fled to a larger ship with its automatic identification system disabled. No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack. The Houthis, who have previously targeted commercial vessels in the Red Sea, continue to threaten renewed attacks despite a temporary ceasefire agreement. Their actions are part of a broader regional conflict involving Iran and its allies.
