A British maritime authority reported Tuesday an “explosion” near a vessel in the Gulf of Aden off the coast of Yemen, where Houthi rebels have been targeting commercial shipping since the outbreak of the Gaza war.
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said it had “received a report of an incident 120 nautical miles (about 222 kilometers) east of Aden,” adding that “the master reported hearing an explosion and water splashing near the vessel.”
