A ship was hit by an
“unidentified projectile”
off the coast of Yemen, where attacks by Yemeni Houthi rebels are increasing against merchant shipping, the British maritime security agency (UKMTO) reported on Saturday.
The attack caused a fire which was extinguished, the agency added, specifying that
“the ship and its crew are safe and sound”
and that the boat was continuing its route to its next port of call.
