The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) organization has received a report of an incident in the Red Sea near Yemen.
A UKMTO advisory note says an incident had been reported around 90 nautical miles southeast of Yemen’s port of Aden and that authorities were investigating.
Yemen’s Iranian-backed Houthi militants, who control much of Yemen, have launched wave after wave of exploding drones and missiles at commercial vessels since Nov. 19, in what they say is a protest against Israel’s military operations against the Hamas terror group.
