Houthis attack another ship off Yemen coast; vessel sinks after drone boat strike

SANAA: Houthi rebels have launched another attack on a ship near Yemen's coast, using an uncrewed drone boat about nine nautical miles southwest of Al Mukha.

The vessel caught fire and later sank, the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said. All crew members were rescued safely. An investigation into the incident has been launched.

The maritime security agency has advised ships transiting waters off the Yemeni coast to exercise extreme caution. The latest attack comes a day after an Indian vessel was targeted in the region.
