Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis said on Tuesday that they had attacked a ship in the northern Red Sea with two drones and a missile over its connection to Israel.
The group did not say when the attack happened. There was no immediate confirmation of the attack from maritime sources.
"The Yemeni armed forces carried out a joint military operation targeting the ship ... for violating the (Houthi) decision to ban entry to the ports of occupied Palestine," the group's spokesperson said.
On Monday, the Houthis said they launched a missile towards the Liberia-flagged Israeli-owned tanker "Scarlet Ray" ship near Saudi Arabia's Red Sea port city of Yanbu.
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said on Sunday that it received a report of an incident 40 nautical miles southwest of Yanbu.
A vessel reported "a splash in close proximity from an unknown projectile and heard a loud bang," the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said, adding that the vessel's crew were all safe and it was continuing to its next voyage.
In a later update, Ambrey said it assessed the vessel to be "aligned with" the targets of Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis' profile, given that it was publicly Israeli-owned.
Previous Houthi attacks, including sinking ships
In July, the Houthis sank two ships in the Red Sea and killed several members of one ship's crew. The terror group claimed that one of the ships, the Eternity C, was on the way to the Eilat port.
"The attack was carried out with an unmanned boat and six cruise and ballistic missiles. The operation resulted in the complete sinking of the ship, and the operation was documented with audio and video," Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree added.
This is a developing story.
