The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) received a report on Thursday regarding an incident occurring approximately 85 nautical miles east of Aden, Yemen. Authorities have initiated an investigation into the matter.

According to initial reports, the incident involved an explosion near a vessel. The vessel's Master confirmed the occurrence, stating that both the crew and the vessel were safe. The ship is currently continuing its journey to its designated port of call.
