Greek-owned Marshall Islands-flagged bulk carrier reported being targeted “with two missiles” within 20 minutes off the coast of Yemen, a British private maritime security company announced today.
The missiles fell into the sea, “the crew is safe and sound” and “heading for the port that is its next stop,” Ambrey said of the incident in the Red Sea, where the rebels Houthi of Yemen have since the end of last year launched dozens of attacks against commercial ships that they say are “connected” to Israel, in a show of solidarity with the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
Earlier, Britain's Maritime Safety Office (UKMTO) said it had received information about an “incident” in the Red Sea, about 40 nautical miles (74 km) south of the Yemeni city of Al Moha. Later, she calmed down in her turn, stating that although the ship was targeted by two missiles, it was not hit, the crew is safe and continues on its way to the port which is its next stop.
