At least 10 Houthi rebels were killed and two others wounded when US forces struck their boats in the southern Red Sea, two sources at Yemen’s Hodeida port said, AFP reports.

The US military earlier said it had destroyed several small boats operated by the Houthis after the rebels had attacked and tried to board a container ship.

One source at the rebel-controlled port said the wounded were rescued following the strike. The other source, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said there were four other survivors.
