Footage showing armed men dropping from a helicopter and seizing a cargo ship in the Red Sea has been released by Houthis in Yemen.

The video was published by the movement's TV channel, Al Masirah, a day after the ship was hijacked by the group, who said Israel had links to the ship. Israel said the vessel was a British-owned and Japanese-operated cargo ship and described the incident as an 'Iranian act of terrorism' with consequences for international maritime security
