Yemen's Houthis targeted U.S. bulk carrier Propel Fortune in the Gulf of Aden, the group's military spokesperson Yahya Sarea said in a televised speech early on Saturday.

The spokesperson also said they targeted "a number of U.S. war destroyers at the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden with 37 drones."

The Houthis say they have been attacking shipping lanes in solidarity with the Palestinians in the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza.
