Double explosions reported near ship off Yemen

The UK Maritime Trade Operations reported that a ship 40 nautical miles south of al Mukha in Yemen experienced two explosions nearby. Fortunately, the ship and its crew were unharmed and on their way to their next port of call. Authorities are currently conducting an investigation into the incident.

The attack on ships off the coast of Yemen was carried out by Iran-backed Houthi fighters, who claimed it was done in solidarity with Palestinians who were killed in Israel’s conflict in Gaza. This act of aggression has raised concerns about the safety of maritime operations in the region. The situation underscores the ongoing tensions and conflicts in the Middle East, posing risks to maritime trade and security.

As the investigation continues, it is essential for authorities to take necessary measures to ensure the safety of ships and crew navigating through these waters. With ongoing conflicts and geopolitical tensions in the region, maintaining maritime security is crucial to prevent further incidents and ensure the smooth operation of trade routes in the area.
