The US Navy has destroyed Houthi “small boats” whose crew attempted to board a container ship in the Red Sea.
Four vessels from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen fired upon the Maersk Hangzhou and got within metres of the ship, the US military said.
Helicopters from nearby US warships responded to a distress call – and, after being fired upon, sank three boats “in self-defence”.
The crews were killed and the fourth boat fled the area.
