Ship hit by Houthi missile off Yemen, Britain's Maritime Safety Agency says. Iran-backed Houthi militants are stepping up attacks on commercial shipping.
The ship was attacked west of the Hodeida port, controlled by the Houthis. "The vessel sustained some damage. The crew was not injured and the vessel continued its journey," the British Navy's U.K. Marine Trade Operations and security firm Ambrey said. The vessel was hit by a missile off the coast of Yemen.
