Vessel reports damage after explosion off Yemen’s coast

A ship says it has suffered damage after an explosion from an unmanned surface vessel went off near it off the coast of Yemen, reports the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO). No crew were injured in the incident, which took place 57 nautical miles (106km) south of Yemen’s port city of Aden.

Yemen’s Houthi have regularly waged attacks against vessels passing through the Red Sea during the Gaza war, killing at least four sailors and sinking two ships.
