Yemen conflict: Rebels in deadly attack on Saudi warship

Source: BBC

The Saudi-led coalition battling Yemen's Houthi rebels says two crew members have been killed in an attack on one of its warships in the Red Sea.

A coalition statement said three Houthi "suicide boats" had approached a Saudi frigate west of Hudaydah on Monday.

One of the boats collided with the rear of the frigate and exploded, causing a fire, the statement added.

However, a rebel-controlled news agency cited a source as saying the warship had been hit by a guided missile.

Instead of stopping all the subsidies to Big Oil and the coal companies we could have been spending real time and R&D on renewable energies.

The Congress has made it impossible, almost, for us to move into the 21st century.
