Vessel was reportedly targeted near Yemen's Hodeidah, UKMTO says

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations reported an incident near Yemen's Hodeidah.

UKMTO said it had received a report of an incident 65 nautical miles west of Hodeidah where the captain of a merchant vessel reported an explosion a distance off the vessel's starboard beam.

"There is no damage to the vessel and the crew are reported safe. The vessel is continuing to its next port of call," UKMTO added in an advisory note.

The news comes after Ambrey reported that a vessel was targeted approximately 80 nautical miles northwest of Hodeidah. It's unclear if they are reporting the same incident.
