Yemenis suspected of fresh attack on shipping in the Gulf of Aden

A MISSILE attack on a cargo ship in the Gulf of Aden on Saturday is suspected as being carried out by forces of the Houthi-led Yemeni government, authorities said today.

A second missile fired at the ship missed and people “on board small boats in the vicinity opened fire on the ship during the incident,” the private security firm Ambrey added, though no-one was hurt onboard.

The British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations centre similarly reported the attack and fire late on Saturday in the same area off Aden, saying that “damage control is under way.”
