Vessel exchanges fire with 15 small craft off Yemen coast: UKMTO

The ship's master reported the crew was safe and that it is continuing to its next port of call.

The identity of the attackers remains unknown. However, Yemen’s Iran-affiliated Houthi terrorists have posed an ongoing threat to shipping in the area since they first began targeting commercial vessels in November 2023, which they claim is an act of “solidarity” with Palestinians amid Israel’s war in Gaza.
