The armed Houthi movement targeted a Saudi Arabian warship off the western coast of Yemen, the group’s Al Masirah TV said on Wednesday. “The naval force targets the Saudi Dammam ship,” the broadcaster wrote on its Twitter feed. There were no immediate reports of damage or casualties, Reuters said. The Saudi-led coalition that is battling the Houthis in Yemen’s civil war has not commented on the report. The Houthis, who control Yemen’s capital Sanaa, have also fired dozens of missiles into Saudi Arabia in recent months. However, most of the missiles have been intercepted by the Saudi military.
