A ship from Malta with a Greek owner was hit by a missile in the Red Sea near Yemen, according to Ambrey, a company that provides security for ships.
It is believed to be the third time the big ship named Zografia has been involved in something bad in the last day.
On Tuesday, the US military said they stopped weapons from Iran that were meant for the Houthis.
At the same time, the US has attacked more places in areas of Yemen controlled by the Houthi group.
An American official told CBS, which works with the BBC, that the US did more attacks on Houthi positions last night.
The US and UK bombed many Houthi targets on 11 January after the Houthi group attacked ships in the Red Sea.
We still don’t know what was targeted in the recent US operation.
The Houthis promised to fight back, and the US said it stopped a missile from hitting one of its ships that was launched from a Houthi- controlled area in Yemen.
The fighters of the movement have attacked several ships in protest against Israel’s war with Hamas since November.
However, many people do not have any ties to Israel.
The Red Sea connects the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean through the Suez Canal, but some shipping companies are now taking a longer route around the Cape of Good Hope to reach Europe instead.
On Tuesday, the US announced that the weapons they found on a ship near Yemen were similar to the ones the Houthis used in their attacks in the Red Sea.
The robbery happened on January 11th near the coast of Somalia, which was the same day as the first US-UK airstrikes.
Missile parts and defense equipment were found on a ship.
US Central Command said they have captured the first shipment of dangerous, Iranian-made weapons to the Houthis since the attacks on ships began in November 2023.
The search is still going on for two Navy Seals who fell overboard during the mission.
Media said that an officer fell off the ship because of big waves, and another officer jumped in to help, as they are supposed to do.
