A drone attack caused damage to a merchant vessel 65 nautical miles west of Yemen’s Hodeidah, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) and British security firm Ambrey said, Reuters reports.
“All crew members are reported safe, and the vessel is proceeding to its next port of call,” UKMTO said in an advisory note.
In a separate note, Ambrey identified the vessel as a “Liberia-flagged fully cellular container ship”, without providing its name. It said no injuries were reported.
