Iran Press/ West Asia: According to UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), two vessels were attacked in the western and southwestern regions of the Yemeni city of Hodeidah. One of the merchant vessels was damaged due to the attacks. Al Mayadeen reported this information.
The first vessel has been attacked 50 nautical miles (58 miles) southwest of Hodeidah, the UKMTO said. The owner of the vessel has said two missiles had flown over the ship and detonated in the distance, adding that the crew was safe and the ship was not damaged.
The UKTMO announced that the ship would proceed to its next port of call.
The second vessel has been attacked 76 nautical miles west of Hodeidah and has been damaged by a missile that hit it, the UK authority mentioned.
"A merchant vessel reported being hit by a missile and sustaining damage. Crew safe, vessel proceeding to next port," said UKMTO.
The reported incidents came shortly after the US-UK aggression launched more than a dozen airstrikes on several districts in multiple Yemeni governorates. On early Friday, the US-British aggression launched three airstrikes on the coastal district of Abs on the Red Sea in Hajjah province northwest of Yemen, hours after the joint aggression targeted the neighboring Hodeidah province with 11 airstrikes. 219
