Houthis Fire Ballistic Missile Over Gulf of Aden
Yemen's Houthi militia fired a ballistic missile over the Gulf of Aden on Sunday, according to the US military. The attack adds to a series of intensified assaults by the Houthis on Yemeni government soldiers and international vessels. Recently, a Greek-owned oil tanker narrowly escaped a similar attack in the Red Sea. Additionally, four Yemeni government troops were killed in Taiz province, and UN experts have called for the release of five detained members of the Bahai community.
