A missile fired by Yemen's Houthi rebels struck a US-owned ship Monday just off the coast of Yemen in the Gulf of Aden, less than a day after Yemen's Houthi rebels fired an anti-ship cruise missile toward an American destroyer in the Red Sea, officials said. Ignoring warnings from the US and other targeted countries, Houthi rebels' actions may raise the group’s profile in Yemen, where it is currently based.
