(CNN) — An oil tanker in the Gulf of Aden is on fire after a missile attack by Yemen’s Houthi militants, in the latest incident linked to the Iran-backed group

All crew members are safe and fires have been extinguished aboard a British oil tanker in the Gulf of Aden that was hit it with a missile by Houthi rebels, the vessel's operator confirmed on Saturday.

The 17,000-tonne MV Behshad, manned by Irans Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. is thought to have coordinated Fridays missile strike on the oil tanker Marlin Luanda.

The incident comes after US forces targeted the Iran-backed rebel group in a fresh airstrike.

The tanker carried Russian-produced naphtha, a flammable oil, drawing Moscow further into a conflict that so far it had blamed on the U.S.
