The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said on Tuesday that an attack occurred in the Gulf of Aden, 50 nautical miles south of the city of Aden in Yemen.
The UKMTO added that the incident is under investigation and warned vessels to transit with caution and report any suspicious activity. Earlier today, the Houthis, a Yemeni militant group responsible for the majority of recent attacks in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, said they launched missiles on ships from the UK and the United States "in response to the American-British aggression."
