Vessel hit 60 nautical miles off the coast of Yemen in the latest reported attack by movement.

An oil tanker is on fire in the Gulf of Aden, its operator says, after Houthis said they hit it with a missile.

US officials told the BBC’s US partner CBS the tanker was hit by an anti-ship ballistic missile and a naval ship was responding to its distress signal.

There were no injuries reported, the US officials said.

Houthi military spokesman Yaha Sarea said the group used “a number of appropriate naval missiles” and Friday’s strike was “direct”.

        I’ll take that as a tacit admission that you don’t actually have a solution, and just wanted to shoot off some feel-good “Can’t we just get along?” shite to avoid actually thinking about the region whilst simultaneously having strong opinions on it.

          I’d put more effort into it if you actually wanted an answer instead of just being right.

            What a convenient excuse.
