The incident follows two other explosions earlier today that struck near a vessel also off Hodeida, according to the British maritime authority.
There was no immediate claim for today’s attacks, although the Houthis in Yemen have launched a flurry of drone and missile attacks targeting commercial vessels in the Red Sea in recent weeks.
