A drone hit a vessel in the Gulf of Aden off Yemen’s coast, a British maritime security agency said on Wednesday, shortly after the Iran-backed Huthi rebels vowed more attacks on shipping.
A “vessel has been hit on the port side by an Uncrewed Aerial System,” the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) agency said, adding that a fire on board had been extinguished and the “vessel and crew are safe”.
