Yemeni Houthi militiamen claimed to have fired a rocket at the American warship Lewis B. Puller as it passed through the Gulf of Aden in the Red Sea. This is what we read in a statement from the group’s military spokesman relaunched by the al-Arabiya broadcaster.
The current situation in the Middle East is significantly increasing the price of imports and, consequently, of consumer goods. Oil prices are rising after a drone attack on US forces in Jordan heightened concerns about supply disruptions in the Middle East, while Houthi rebels continue to attack ships in the Red Sea, hitting a Trafigura oil tanker. Brent futures lost 0.62% to $81.92 per barrel, while WTI futures lost 0.94% to $76.63 per barrel. The drone attack on US troops in Jordan has raised concerns of a wider conflict in the oil-rich Middle East.
