A vessel near Yemen has been hit from above by a missile, according to a Royal Navy agency.
UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) – which provides security information to merchant shipping – said a ship was struck near the Yemeni city of Aden.
It happened some 110 miles (177 kilometres) miles southeast of the city.
The UKMTO offered few details, other than to say the ship’s captain reported that the “port side of vessel hit from above by a missile”. It did not identify the ship or elaborate.
Yemen’s Houthi forces did not immediately acknowledge any attack, though they have fired missiles previously in that area.
The US military said one of its fighter jets shot down an anti-ship cruise missile fired by Houthi militants on Sunday, without any reported injuries or damage sustained.
