Explosion reported near ship off Yemeni coast; no injuries

DUBAI — An explosion was reported near a merchant vessel off the coast of the Yemeni port city of Aden on Tuesday, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) agency and British maritime security firm Ambrey says.

Ambrey says a Marshall Islands-flagged, Greek-owned bulk carrier was targeted while heading through the Maritime Security Transit Corridor southbound about 53 nautical miles southwest of Aden. The vessel was traveling from the US to India.

The vessel and crew were safe, both Ambrey and UKMTO say.
