Sept 2 (Reuters) – The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said in an advisory note on Monday that a merchant vessel was hit by two unknown projectiles 70 nautical miles northwest of Yemen’s Saleef.
The agency said damage control was underway and that a third explosion occurred in close proximity to the vessel, but that there were no casualties on board.
Iran-aligned Houthi militants have launched attacks on international shipping near Yemen since November in solidarity with Palestinians in the war between Israel and Hamas.
