It is also underlined that it was the fourth time that this particular ship was attacked by the Houthis.

Yahya Sharia had also announced that the Houthis launched a missile attack against the Stolt Sequoia ship in the Indian Ocean.

Since last November, Iran-aligned Yemeni rebels have frequently launched missile and drone attacks against merchant ships in the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean.
