The Houthi group in Yemen said they carried out a specific military operation, targeting a British cargo ship in the Gulf of Aden on Monday with a number of appropriate naval missiles, said the Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea. 

"The ship suffered catastrophic damage and came to a complete halt. As a result of the extensive damage the ship suffered, it is now at risk of potential sinking in the Gulf of Aden. During the operation, we made sure that the ship's crew exited safely," he said in a statement.
