Houthi rebels suspected of attacking Belize-flagged cargo ship in Bab el-Mandeb Strait

There have been conflicting reports of an attack on a cargo ship in the Bab al-Mandab Strait off Yemen. According to one report, Yemen's Houthi rebels are suspected of carrying out the attack on a Belize-flagged ship on Sunday, resulting in damage to the vessel. Another report states that the ship, which is also UK-registered and Lebanese-operated, came under attack off Yemen and the crew had to abandon it after an explosion. The UK Maritime Trade Operations agency is investigating the incident. The U.S. military has acknowledged conducting new airstrikes against the rebels in the region around the same time, but it's unclear if there is any connection between the two events.
