Yemen’s Houthi militants struck a Palau-flagged cargo ship in the Gulf of Aden on June 13. The Iran-aligned group’s military spokesman Yahya Sarea also confirmed the hit. According to US Central Command, the Houthi strike on Verbena sparked a fire and injured one of her crew members. While the crew fought the fire, an aircraft from the US Navy’s Philippine Sea warship evacuated the injured mariner to a partner force ship.
