Another cargo vessel has been targeted and hit by a missile off the coast of Yemen, according to reports.

British maritime security firm, Ambrey, warned in an advisory note on Tuesday that a Malta-flagged Greek-owned bulk carrier was reportedly targeted and hit by a missile.

Royal Navy agency UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) – which provides security information to merchant shipping – also said it had received a report of an “incident” 100 nautical miles northwest of Saleef.

“Vessels are advised to transit with caution and report any suspicious activity to UKMTO,” the organisation added in a post on X.
