Yemen's Houthis on Monday said they had fired a missile at a tanker in the Red Sea, days after their prime minister was killed in an Israeli attack.

The Iran-backed Houthis , who sank two tankers in July, said they targeted the Liberian-flagged Scarlet Ray, claiming a direct hit.

The UK Maritime Trade Operations, which monitors the region, said on Sunday that the attack missed its target. The ship is Israeli-owned, according to maritime security company Ambrey.
