Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi group has been launching drone and missile strikes in shipping lanes since November, saying that it acts in solidarity with Palestinians in Israel's war in Gaza.
In dozens of attacks, the Houthis have sunk two vessels, seized another and killed at least three seafarers.
According to a statement from the State Department, Monday's sanctions include three individuals and six entities that facilitated weapons procurement for the Houthis.
On Wednesday, CENTCOM announced that it had destroyed three anti-ship cruise missile launchers, and one unmanned aerial system in a Houthi controlled area of Yemen.
"The ship was heading southwest along the Gulf of Aden at speed 8.2kts when the forward station was struck by a missile. A fire started but was neutralized," Ambrey said in an advisory note.
For the first time, an Israeli shipping company is launching a logistics center in the US, providing importers and exporters in Israel the ability to store and manage inventory in the United States
Its attacks have forced shippers to re-route cargo to longer and more expensive journeys around southern Africa and stoked fears of the Israel-Hamas war spreading and destabilizing the Middle East.
The Spanish government announced that the ship’s final destination is Czechia, but anti-Israel activists and politicians remain unconvinced.
Ambrey and UKMTO received a report of the incident 54 nautical miles northwest of Yemen's Mokha.
