Yemen’s Houthi rebels unleashed a barrage of drones and missiles targeting shipping in the Red Sea late Tuesday, though it initially appeared no ship was damaged in the attack, authorities say early Wednesday.
The assault happened off the Yemeni port cities of Hodeida and Mokha, according to the private intelligence firm Ambrey. In the Hodeida incident, Ambrey says ships described over radio seeing missiles and drones, with US-allied warships in the area urging “vessels to proceed at maximum speed.”
Off Mokha, ships saw missiles fired, a drone in the air and small vessels trailing them, Ambrey says.
The British military’s United Kingdom Marine Trade Operations, which monitors shipping attacks in the region, says it’s aware of the Hodeida attack.
“Coalition forces are responding, no injuries or damage reported,” the military says. “Vessels are advised to transit with caution and report any suspicious activity.”
