British maritime security firm Ambrey has confirmed that the vessel that reported a projectile fall near Saudi Arabia is a Liberia-flagged and Israeli-owned tanker, Al Jazeera reports.
In a separate update, Ambrey added that it has assessed the vessel to be “aligned with” the targets of the Houthis in Yemen, given that it was publicly Israeli-owned.
As we reported earlier, the UKMTO had said the vessel was safe and continuing with its voyage. The Houthis have still not commented on the incident.
