US Central Command (CENTCOM) reports that Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen attacked a Liberian-flagged ship, operated by a Greek company, in the Red Sea. The ship was hit using an unmanned surface vehicle (USV), causing damage to its engine room and water intake. Additionally, Houthis launched two anti-ship ballistic missiles in a separate attack. Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree claimed the attack was in response to the ship violating a ban on entering Palestinian ports. No injuries were reported in either incident.
Andriy Portnov, former aide to ex-Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, was shot dead in Madrid’s upscale Pozuelo de Alarcon district. Spanish authorities say unidentified gunmen opened fire as the 52-year-old was dropping off his children at school, striking him in the back and head before fleeing.
Portnov, a former MP and lawyer, fled Ukraine with Yanukovych in 2014, briefly returned in 2019, and was later sanctioned by the U.S. for alleged judicial corruption.
