Yemen’s Houthis attacked two US destroyers and the vessel Cyclades in the Red Sea as well as the MSC Orion in the Indian Ocean, the Iran-aligned group’s military spokesman Yahya Sarea said on Tuesday. Portugal-flagged MSC Orion was sailing between the ports in Sines, Portugal and Salalah, Oman and its registered owner is Zodiac Maritime, according to LSEG data. Zodiac is partly owned by Israeli businessman Eyal Ofer. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
