Vessel off Yemen ‘struck’ by three projectiles, UK agency reports
Three projectiles have hit a merchant vessel off Yemen’s rebel-held port city of Hodeida, limiting the ship’s ability to maneuver, British maritime security agency UKMTO says.
“The merchant vessel had been struck by two unidentified projectiles before being hit by a third,” United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations says, adding that there are no reports of casualties but “the vessel reports being not under command.”
