United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) confirmed via X (formerly Twitter) that there had been an attack in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait on Monday night. UKMTO is a public service operated by the Royal Navy to provide information for security services and merchant vessels.
They reported that there was a fire onboard the vessel and that all crew were safe, it is not clear if the ship is connected to Israel or was headed to an Israeli port.
US defense officials claimed that a land-based cruise missile fired from Houthi-controlled territory in Yemen was responsible for the damage, as well as confirming that a US Navy ship had arrived to render support.
UKMTO later reported that an organization claiming to be "the Yemeni Navy" ordered a vessel to change course and dock in Yemen.
