Houthi Missile Hits Chinese-Owned Tanker in Red Sea

A Chinese-owned oil tanker was hit by Houthi missiles in the Red Sea, despite the rebels previously stating they would not attack Chinese vessels. The tanker, Huang Pu, issued a distress call but did not request assistance, and no casualties were reported. The US military engaged six drones launched by the Houthis following the attack, with five crashing into the Red Sea and the sixth flying into a Houthi-controlled area of Yemen. The rebels have intensified their strikes on Red Sea shipping in recent months, targeting vessels and threatening to disrupt global trade.
