UKMTO receives report of incident 50nm northeast of UAE's Fujairah

The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said on Saturday that it had received a report of an incident 50 nautical miles northeast of the United Arab Emirates' Fujairah and authorities were investigating.

Iran-aligned Houthis have staged attacks on shipping in the Red Sea region for months in solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza war.

The commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard's navy said on Tuesday that Israel's presence in the UAE was viewed as a threat by Tehran and it could close the Strait of Hormuz - the entrance to the Gulf - if deemed necessary. Fujairah is located on the eastern side of the Strait of Hormuz.
