A merchant ship off the coast of Yemen reported a missile hitting the water nearby, Britain’s sea trade monitoring agency reported on Thursday, adding that vessel and all crew are safe and are proceeding to the next port of call.
\nThe United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) agency said it had received a report of the incident 98 nautical miles south of Yemen’s port city of Hodeidah. The master of the merchant vessel had reported the missile impacting the water near the ship’s port side.
\nBritish security firm Ambrey said it received a report that a merchant vessel was suspiciously approached 68 nautical miles southwest of Hodeidah and had undergone what it described as “missile attack.”
\n“No injuries or damages were reported,” Ambrey said.
\nOn Wednesday, US Central Command forces successfully engaged four uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) in an Iranian-backed Houthi controlled area of Yemen, USCENTCOM said in a statement.
\n\u201cIt was determined these systems presented an imminent threat to US, coalition forces, and merchant vessels in the region,\u201d it said.
\n\u201cThese actions are taken to protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer and more secure for US, coalition, and merchant vessels,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
