A second missile missed and\u2062 those on small boats in the area opened\u2062 fire on\u200d the ship, although no one was injured. The \u200bHouthis have claimed responsibility\u2062 for the attack, while also making unconfirmed claims of attacks on other\u2063 vessels. This comes as the \u200bHouthis continue to target shipping in the Red Sea, supposedly in support\u2062 of the conflict in Gaza. The article also mentions \u2064past \u200cattacks on ships by the Houthis and their efforts to stop the war and support the \u200dPalestinians.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<header> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/news\/\">  News <\/a>   <span> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/ap-reports\/\">  <\/a> <\/p>\n<p> <span>   By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/ap-reports\/%20\"><span>The Associated Press<\/span><\/a> <\/span> <span>   June 9, 2024 at 6:15am <\/span> <\/span>  <\/header>\n<section>\n<p>A missile attack by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/houthis-say-launched-attack-us-aircraft-carrier-america-gives-crushing-response\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yemen\u2019s Houthi rebels<\/a> hit an Antigua- and Barbuda-flagged cargo ship in the Gulf of Aden, the latest assault on shipping in the region.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/tanker-struck-missile-just-10-nautical-miles-off-shore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The missile<\/a> hit the ship\u2019s forward station late Saturday, starting a fire that those on board later put out, the private security firm Ambrey said.<\/p>\n<p>A second missile fired at the ship missed and people \u201con board small boats in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/2-fla-police-officers-shot-suspect-dead\/\" title=\"2 Fla. police officers shot, suspect dead\">vicinity opened fire<\/a> on the ship during the incident,\u201d Ambrey added, though no one was hurt onboard.<\/p>\n<p>The British military\u2019s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center similarly reported the attack and fire in the same area off Aden, saying \u201cdamage control is underway.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/pro-houthi-leftists-silent-radical-group-announces-mass-execution-homosexuals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Houthi<\/a> military spokesman Brig.
