Houthi rebels have claimed they have fired a ballistic missile at a Royal Navy destroyer patrolling the Red Sea in the Middle East today (SUN).
The Yemen-based regime took to X today with a military commander claiming forces had embarked on operations against HMS Diamond in the Red Sea.
It’s not the first time the ship has come under fire from the rogue state, which has also attacked commercial shipping in the region and attempted large missile attacks on Israel in support of the terrorist group Hamas.
Express.co.uk has contacted the Ministry of Defence for a statement.
Ranting in Arabic on X, a Yemeni military officer declared an “operation to target the British destroyer Diamond in the Red Sea” had taken place, before adding that two more operations had been launched against ships in response to the “Zionist enemy’s crime” in Israel.
