UKMTO reports incident northwest of Yemen’s Hodeidah
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) says it received a report of an incident 97 nautical miles northwest of Yemen’s Hodeidah, as the Iran-aligned Houthis have launched attacks on global shipping since November, claiming solidarity with Palestinians in the war between Israel and Hamas.
Authorities are investigating, UKMTO adds in an advisory note.
