The Houthis have targeted ships in the South Red Sea, warning that they will attack all ships bound for Israel. They said the attack was to support Palestinians amid the "aggression and siege" carried out by Israel in Gaza.
The Red Sea is one of the most frequently used sea routes in the world for oil and fuel shipments.
