Yemen’s Houthis have said they targeted a ship, which they identified as Megalopolis, in the Arabian Sea with drones, without specifying a date, Reuters reports.
Megalopolis, a Malta-flagged container ship, is currently en route to Oman’s Salalah port, according to LSEG data.
Yahya Saree, the military spokesperson of the Houthi fighters, said in a televised statement that the vessel was targeted for violating the group’s ban on entering the ports of “occupied Palestine”.
Maritime agencies have not reported any incidents involving the named vessel.
