Ship off the coast of Yemen reports armed attack

A merchant ship reported a weaponized attack off the coast of Yemen in the Red Sea, according to the UK Maritime Trade Organisation (UKMTO). The incident occurred near the port city of Hudaida, which is controlled by the Iranian-backed Houthi militia. The attackers were described as 'armed aggressors,' but there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage. The Houthi group has been accused of attacking dozens of ships linked to Israel since 2023, including sinking or damaging them. The militia is considered one of Tehran’s most important non-state allies, alongside Hezbollah in Lebanon.
