Vessel hit 60 nautical miles off the coast of Yemen in the latest reported attack by movement.

An oil tanker is on fire in the Gulf of Aden, its operator says, after Houthis said they hit it with a missile.

US officials told the BBC’s US partner CBS the tanker was hit by an anti-ship ballistic missile and a naval ship was responding to its distress signal.

There were no injuries reported, the US officials said.

Houthi military spokesman Yaha Sarea said the group used “a number of appropriate naval missiles” and Friday’s strike was “direct”.

      Why don’t you re-read the conversation before defaulting to simping for the “A Curse Upon The Jews” folks.

      How about instead of violence we give the people a comfortable life so they don’t feel compelled to do dumb shit like this?

      Okay. So where does Yemen, which is currently in a civil war, start? And what is our proposed role in helping achieve their comfortable life in the next few months?

      A good start would be to stop selling weapons to the Saudis that then use them to commit genocide in Yemen.
