Explosion reported near US-owned ship off Yemen
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn explosion in the vicinity of a Barbados-flagged, US-owned cargo ship off the port of Aden in southern Yemen was reported by a nearby vessel, British security firm Ambrey says.
The ship, located approximately 57 nautical miles southwest of Aden, was hailed by an entity declaring itself to be the “Yemeni Navy” and ordered to alter course, Ambrey says.
Ambrey cautions other ships to steer clear of the bulker, which matches the “targeting profile” of Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels.
British maritime security agency UKMTO also reports an “attack” southwest of Aden, without elaborating.
