A cargo ship in the Red Sea off the coast of Yemen reports that it is under attack, according to the UK military and multiple outlets. The incident is reported as occurring Sunday near Yemen’s coastline, including an area described as off Hodeidah. The ship says it was targeted by armed assailants, but no group has claimed responsibility and no further details are immediately available about the vessel, the nature of the attack, or any damage or casualties.
The UK military confirms the report and says an investigation is underway. The attacks add to broader security concerns affecting commercial shipping through the region. Sources note that Houthi rebels have previously threatened or been linked to attacks on maritime traffic, although they are not identified as responsible in this case. The incident also comes as regional conflict continues on the ground, while other maritime threats—including piracy activity in nearby waters—remain part of the risk picture for ships transiting the Middle East.
