UKMTO receives report of attack west of Yemen’s Mokha

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) agency said on Saturday that it received a report an attack 15 nautical miles west of Yemen’s port of Mokha, where the Houthis that control much of Yemen have been attacking shipping lanes.

“The crew took the vessel to anchor and were evacuated by military authorities,” UKMTO added in an advisory note.
