The ship, a Hong Kong-flagged cargo vessel, was ordered to change course after a missile nearly hit it while sailing in the Bab al-Mandab strait off the coast of Yemen. The U.K., who reported the incident, suspects the Houthi rebels to be behind it
Yemen's Houthi military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree claimed the attacks, saying the first vessel was hit by a missile and the second by a drone while in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait that links the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden
