Yemen’s Houthi rebels resumed their attacks against commercial shipping on Monday, ending a week-long lull in hostilities.
Just as in the previous attack six days ago, they targeted a vessel by US-listed Star Bulk Carriers — without, however, causing any injury among its crew or serious damage.
Confirming a TradeWinds report earlier in the day, Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said naval missiles were fired at the 76,500-dwt Star Iris (built 2004).
