The UK’s Ministry of Defence has firmly denied claims made by Yemen’s Houthi rebel group that a British destroyer was targeted by missiles in the Red Sea. The Houthis allege that HMS Diamond was attacked, describing the strike as “accurate” but refraining from detailing any resultant damage.
The Ministry of Defence has categorically dismissed these assertions. “The claims by the Houthi rebels are entirely false,” stated an MoD spokesperson. “There has been no such incident involving HMS Diamond, and the ship continues its operations unimpeded.”
