British military says cargo ship reports being under attack in the Red Sea off the coast of Yemen

UK Maritime Trade Operations said authorities are investigating after the vessel sent a distress signal reporting unknown armed assailants.

  • On Sunday, a cargo ship reported coming under attack off the coast of Yemen in the Red Sea, The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations announced.
  • Yemen-Based Houthi rebels, who control the Red Sea, previously launched strikes against shipping in the region starting in 2023, although they have recently paused their campaign.
  • The vessel sent a distress signal reporting an attack by "unknown armed assailants" off the coast of Hudaydah, a major port city, the UKMTO reported.
  • Authorities are investigating the incident, though no group has claimed responsibility. "Vessels are advised to transit with caution and report any suspicious activity to UKMTO," the agency added.
  • The State Department has designated the Houthis as a terrorist organization. Separately, Somali pirates have been active in the Gulf of Aden, presenting additional regional security risks.
