Houthis Target US Drone and Ship in Yemen

Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen shot down a US MQ-9 Reaper drone in Saada province and targeted the Liberian-flagged container ship “MV Groton” with a ballistic missile in the Gulf of Aden. The ship sustained no significant damage, and the crew remained safe. This attack is part of ongoing Houthi aggression in response to Israel’s actions in Gaza.
