Yemen's Houthis damaged two commercial ships in missile attacks in Aden Bay in the past 24 hours as part of the militia group's campaign against international sea cruises, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said.

Iran-backed Houthis attacked the Tavvishi, a Liberian-flagged container ship, belonging to Switzerland with anti-ship ballistic missiles, CENTCOM said. The ship was damaged, but no crew was injured, according to CENTCOM, quoted by Reuters, Monday, June 10.

Two missiles fired by the Houthis hit Norderney, a German cargo ship operating under the flags of Antigua and Barbados, CENTCOM said. The ship was damaged, but no crew was injured and the ship continued its journey, CENTCOM said.

The Houthis previously said they had attacked Tavvishi and Norderney.

The Houthis control the most populous area in Yemen and have attacked merchant ships since November 2023 as a form of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.

The militants have sunk one ship, confiscated another ship and killed three crew members in another attack.
