UKMTO: Incident reported southeast of Yemen's Aden

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) agency received on Thursday a report of an incident 70 nautical miles southeast of the Yemeni port city of Aden.

The agency says it is investigating the incident.

The Iran-backed Houthi forces have targeted dozens of Israel-linked ships in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandeb Strait in response to Israel’s war on Gaza.

Despite US-UK retaliatory strikes, the group has promised to continue its campaign in solidarity with Palestinians until Israel stops the war.
