The vessel “suffered minimal damage”, with CENTCOM noting that “the Houthis attackced the M/V Huang despite previously stating they would not attack Chinese vessels”. The same day, “U.S. forces, including USS Carney, engaged six Houthi unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) over the southern Red Sea. Five crashed into the Red Sea, and one flew inland into Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen”.
