A US-owned cargo ship has reported a “missile attack” off Yemen and called for military assistance, maritime security firm Ambrey says.
“A Greece-flagged, US-owned bulk carrier called for military assistance stating a ‘missile attack,'” Ambrey says, adding that radio communications had stated that “the crew was unharmed.”
The Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen have been targeting shipping in the region, claiming the attacks are an act of solidarity with Palestinians amid Israel’s war with the Hamas terror group.
