Yemen's Human Rights Minister Ezzeldin Al-Asbahi described on Sunday an attack launched by Houthi militants on a ship carrying humanitarian supplies to Yemen as a "war crime".

Speaking to Al Arabiya's sister channel Al Hadath, Asbahi said the Yemeni government is still committed to slamming all crimes carried out by Houthi militias and supporters of former president Ali Abdullah Saleh in Yemen.

The UAE-flagged vessel was carrying medical and relief aid to the Yemeni people when it was targeted by Houthi militias near the Mandeb Strait.
