Yemen’s Houthi fighters have said they will continue targeting British ships in the Gulf of Aden following the sinking of the UK-owned vessel Rubymar.
The US military confirmed on Saturday that Rubymar had sunk after being struck by an antiship ballistic missile fired by the Houthis on February 18.
“Yemen will continue to sink more British ships, and any repercussions or other damages will be added to Britain’s bill,” Hussein al-Ezzi, deputy foreign minister in the Houthi-led government, said in a post on X.
“It is a rogue state that attacks Yemen and partners with America in sponsoring ongoing crimes against civilians in Gaza.”
