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.
China has imposed a 34% customs duty on all US goods in response to the same rate announced by US President Donald Trump. The move includes trade restrictions on rare earth exports critical to tech and defense industries and the suspension of chicken imports from two US firms.
China also blacklisted 11 American companies, including major defense and tech firms, banning them from trade with Chinese entities. Additionally, China filed a complaint at the World Trade Organization, calling the US tariffs a violation of global trade rules and an act of “unilateral bullying.”
