SANAA -- Yemen's Shiite Houthi rebels said on Saturday they targeted a military ship belonging to the United Arab Emirates, part of the Saudi-led coalition fighting them in the country.
The ship, carrying military equipment, was arriving from Eritrea's Assab port, according to Houthi officials. It is the third ship belonging to the coalition to be targeted off Yemen's western coast since the beginning of 2017.
The Saudi Press Agency, citing a statement by the coalition, said that Houthis used an explosives-laden boat, which struck the pier close to a group of ships at the Red Sea port of Mocha. It added that there were no casualties or any substantial damage.
