Merchant ship attacked near Yemen: Report
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) agency has announced an attack on a merchant vessel some 70 nautical miles (130km) northwest of Yemen’s Saleef, according to the Reuters news agency.
The UKMTO, in an advisory note, said the vessel was hit by two unknown projectiles and that damage control was under way. It said a third explosion occurred in close proximity to the vessel, but that there were no casualties on board.
There were no further details.
The incident comes as Yemen’s Houthi rebels have launched attacks on international shipping in solidarity with Palestinians in the war between Israel and Hamas.
