An attack by Houthi rebels set off explosions ahead of a Singapore-flagged vessel in the Gulf of Aden, the latest in a campaign of assaults by the Iranian-backed group over Israel's war on Hamas.

The Belize-flagged Rubymar was the first vessel to be fully destroyed as part of the rebels' campaign over Israel's war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

U.S. Central Command said it was the first time the Iranian-backed rebel group had been observed using an uncrewed underwater vessel since starting a series of attacks in the region in October.

The U.S. and U.K. said they used warship- and submarine-launched Tomahawk missiles and fighter jets to take out Houthi missile storage sites, drones and launchers.

The strikes were launched from the Red Sea and hit more than a dozen sites. They follow an announcement that the U.S. has put the Houthis back on its list of specially designated global terrorists.

No injuries or significant damage was reported from the strike, but the attack is adding to concerns about the war in Gaza spilling into a larger and more complicated regional conflict.

The fresh strikes come a day after the U.S. and U.K. launched attacks on dozens of targets in response to Houthi attacks against ships in the Red Sea.

The airstrikes on multiple Houthi targets in Yemen follow more than two months of attacks by the Iran-backed militants against cargo ships and U.S. warships in the Red Sea.

Drones and missiles targeted shipping in the sea, but ships from the U.S. and British navies shot down the projectiles. No damage was reported. The rebels say they aim to stop Israel's war on Hamas.

The U.S. and U.K. said their warships had shot down drones launched from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen. Meanwhile, major shipping companies suspended operations in the area.
