A cargo ship was apparently attacked off the coast of Yemen in the Red Sea on Sunday. The British military reported that the vessel was targeted by unknown armed assailants and that authorities are currently investigating the incident.
The attack is believed to have taken place 30 nautical miles southwest of al-Hudaida, Yemen. The cargo ship had dispatched a distress call, but further details about the event remain unclear for now. No group has claimed responsibility for the assault so far. However, Houthi rebels in Yemen have threatened renewed attacks on ships after having ceased operations recently.
