The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) and the British maritime security firm (Ambrey) said Sunday that an Antigua and Barbuda-flagged general cargo ship was struck by a missile 83 nautical miles southeast of Yemen's Aden and caught fire, which was later contained. "The ship was heading southwest along the Gulf of Aden at speed 8.2kts when the forward station was struck by a missile. A fire started but was neutralized," Ambrey said in an advisory note. "A second missile was sighted but did not hit the ship. Persons on board small boats in the vicinity opened fire on the ship during the incident," Ambrey noted, adding that no injuries were reported. Since November, the Houthis have been carrying out attacks on ships linked to Israel in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. Source: Qatar News Agency
