A ballistic missile, fired by Houthi rebels, has hit a US-owned-and-operated cargo ship off the coast of Yemen.
The incident follows the US military shooting down a separate anti-ship cruise missile targeting an American destroyer vessel operating in the Southern Red Sea over the weekend.
These retaliations are the first by the Iranian-backed militants since the United States and its allies began launching strikes on Yemen in response to dozens of Houthi attacks on commercial shipping in the region.
Benji Hyer has the latest.
