A land-based cruise missile from Yemen struck a commercial tanker vessel, causing a fire and damage but no casualties. The tanker, STRINDA, was Norway-flagged and owned by Mowinckel Chemical Tankers and managed by Hansa Tankers. The ship had loaded vegetable oil and biofuels in Malaysia and was headed for Venice, Italy. The Houthis have been targeting vessels in vital shipping lanes and firing drones and missiles at Israel. The United States and Britain have condemned the attacks on shipping, blaming Iran for supporting the Houthis.
