Houthis struck civilian Yemeniti ship
The formerly Indonesian-flagged 'Amir Khan 1468' (IMO: 1088504), which was laid up in Murad’s Ras Menhali harbour, opposite Perim Island, not being crewed, was damaged and caught fire in a Houthi attack on Aug 17, 2026. The Houthis falsely claimed that it was a Saudi vessel, transferring military supplies, framing their attack on the Yemeni civilian vessel near the Bab al Mandeb Strait as a strike on Saudi-coalition naval vessels, likely to try to deter the Saudi-led multinational maritime defense coalition from operationalising its mission to protect Red Sea maritime trade by signaling that the Houthis could target the coalition’s vessels. The Houthis had claimed that they struck five Saudi-coalition naval vessels with ballistic missiles in the Red Sea near Mocha Port, Taiz Governorate, on Aug 17. The Houthis added that they sank one Saudi-coalition landing craft and four nearby patrol boats. Multiple Yemeni sources reported that the Houthi strikes only targeted the LCT near the Bab el Mandeb Strait, however. The strike did not cause casualties. The resulting damage left the ship a “complete constructive loss.” Report with photo: https://maritime-executive.com/article/houthis-fighting-on-all-fronts-and-aiming-for-the-red-sea-coast
