Houthi Attacks Threaten Yemen Peace Plan and International Shipping

Huthi rebels in Yemen claimed responsibility for a missile strike on a Norwegian tanker, which they said was part of their military campaign against Israel. The shipowner denied the claim, stating that the vessel was en route to Italy from Malaysia with feedstock for biofuel. France's defense ministry reported that one of its naval vessels intercepted and destroyed a drone launched during the attack. The incident occurred as the tanker passed through the Bab-el-Mandeb strait, a key route to the Suez Canal and Israel's southern port of Eilat. US and French warships have previously shot down Huthi missiles and drones in the Red Sea.
