Yemen's Houthi movement said on Sunday that it targeted the merchant vessel MV Groton in the Gulf of Aden and confirmed it had downed a U.S. drone "MQ-9" over Yemen's northern Saada province.
The attacks are the first to be claimed by the Houthis since Israel carried out a retaliatory airstrike against the group in the port of Hodeidah on July 20.
