Houthis attack CMA CGM’s commercial ship Tage - spokesman

Houthis from Yemen’s rebel Ansar Allah movement have attacked the French company CMA CGM’s Tage container ship, which was sailing towards "occupied Palestine", Yahya Saree, the movement’s military spokesman, said.

"The Yemeni Navy carried out a targeted operation against CMA CGM’s Tage ship sailing to a port in occupied Palestine," the Ansar Allah spokesman told the Houthi-controlled Al Masirah television channel.

Saree said that the Houthis attacked the vessel as its crew "refused to respond to warnings from Yemen’s Navy." In addition, he emphasized that the movement would go on conducting strikes on the ships heading to Israel.
