Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations says it has received a report of an incident 52 nautical miles south of Yemen’s Aden, as a merchant vessel’s captain reports a missile impacting the water in close proximity to a ship.
UKMTO adds that the crew are reported safe and the vessel is proceeding to its next port of call.
Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels have been carrying out regular attacks against ships traversing the vital waterway for months as part of a campaign meant to support Hamas in Gaza.
