UK maritime agency reports incident south of Yemen’s Aden

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) agency says that it received a report of an incident 80 nautical miles south of Yemen’s port city of Aden, adding that authorities are investigating.

The Houthis have waged an armed campaign against shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden during the Gaza war, severely disrupting the vital trade route.

Houthi rebels, part of Iran’s “axis of resistance” against Israel and the United States, have fired over 220 ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones at Israel since the outbreak of the Gaza war.

A ballistic missile launched at Israel from Yemen was successfully intercepted by air defenses outside of Israel’s borders this morning. Sirens were triggered across central Israel.
