Ship attacked off coast of Yemen; no injuries reported
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDUBAI, United Arab Emirates — A ship traveling off the coast of Yemen in the Gulf of Aden came under attack earlier today, officials say, though no one was hurt. It is not clear who launched the attack.
The captain of the vessel heard a splash and explosion in the vicinity of the vessel, the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center says in a statement.
“Vessel and crew reported safe and proceeding to next port of call,” the center says in a statement.
The attack happened about 225 kilometers (140 miles) off the coast of Aden, which is held by forces loyal to Yemen’s exiled government.
Yemen’s Iranian-backed Houthi rebels have launched a series of attacks targeting shipping through the Red Sea corridor, but did not immediately claim the attack. It typically takes them hours or even days to claim an assault.
