BEIRUT, LEBANON (12:00 P.M.) - The Houthi forces claimed on Saturday that the Yemeni Coast Guard had captured a French military boat off the coast of west Yemen.
According to the official media wing of the Houthi forces, the Yemeni Coast Guard captured a French military speed boat that was believed to be carrying out an operation near the port-city of Hodeideh.
No visual proof was given to corroborate these claims by the Houthi forces nor has the French military commented on this report.
Reports of U.S. and French intervention first surfaced earlier this week; however, they were later denied by the French Ministry of Defense.
