Triple attack targets ship off Yemen

DUBAI — Three attempted attacks likely launched by Iran-backed Houthi rebels targeted a merchant vessel off Yemen but caused no injuries or damage, maritime security firm Ambrey said Friday.

The ship, which had a private security team on board, was approached by a small boat and an unmanned surface vessel (USV) 58 nautical miles from the Houthi-run port city of Hodeida, Ambrey said.
