+++ Iran-Krieg +++: Kämpfe um Meerenge – Huthi-Rebellen greifen Flughafen im Jemen an

In the ongoing conflict over the strategic Strait of Hormuz, the Houthi rebels have targeted an airport in Yemen and attacked several tankers in the region, according to recent reports. An Iranian military spokesman claimed that a ballistic missile launched by the Houthi militia was intercepted and destroyed, with origins in Sanaa, Saada, and Amran provinces. The coalition continues to neutralize threats posed by the Houthi missiles and destroy their launch sites.

The British agency for maritime safety (UKMTO) reported that a tanker was hit by an unknown projectile off the coast of Hormuz late in the evening, causing a fire in the engine room. However, there were initially no reports of injured personnel. The UKMTO also shared information about multiple incidents from previous days. On Saturday, another oil tanker was hit above the waterline, and on Sunday, a liquefied natural gas tanker suffered a similar fate in the same vicinity.
