Yemen's Houthi forces attacked a Liberia-flagged container vessel, the MV Groton, for the second time, using naval, UAV, and missile forces. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations reported that two missiles exploded near the vessel, 130 nautical miles east of Yemen's Aden. Fortunately, the crew was unharmed, and there was no damage to the ship. This attack is part of an ongoing Houthi campaign targeting commercial shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. The Houthis claim these assaults are in solidarity with Palestinians amid the Israel-Hamas conflict.
