Houthis say they fired ballistic missiles at British destroyer HMS Diamond

Yemen's Houthis said on Sunday it had fired ballistic missiles at the HMS Diamond, a British destroyer, in the Red Sea.

The Houthis said the strike was "accurate" but did not say whether it had caused damage.

They said they had also attacked two commercial vessels which they identified as the Norderney and Tavvishi.

The Houthis have launched drone and missile attacks on global shipping in the Red Sea since November, in solidarity with Palestinians being killed by Israeli forces in Gaza.
