Missile has struck a US-owned vessel off Yemen in the Gulf of Aden as Houthi attacks continue

Jerusalem: A missile fired from Yemen struck a US-owned ship in the Gulf of Aden Monday, private security firms told The Associated Press.

Ambrey and Dryad Global identified the vessel as the Eagle Gibraltar, a Marshall Islands-flagged bulk carrier. The ship is owned by Eagle Bulk, a Stamford, Connecticut-based firm traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The firm did not respond to repeated requests for comment.
