Houthi attacks continue as US cargo ship hit


Listen Later

Houthi rebels have hit a US-owned container ship with a ballistic missile off the coast of Yemen,

The vessel, Gibraltar Eagle, reported "no injuries or significant damage", according to the United States military command for the Middle East. The rebels say they will continue to target all US and British ships taking part in what they call aggression against Yemen.
