British security firm Ambrey says it has received information that a Panama-flagged crude oil tanker was reportedly “attacked” approximately 10 nautical miles southwest of Yemen’s Mocha.
It adds that the communication indicated vessel was hit by a missile.
Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis have been attacking shipping in the region since the start of the Israel-Hamas war.
