A missile fired at a ship in the Red Sea caused no damage, marine security monitors said Friday, as Yemen’s Huthi rebels threatened to expand their harassment campaign which has disrupted global trade.
The Royal Navy’s United Kingdom Marine Trade Operations and security firm Ambrey had reported that the ship was damaged after being hit west of the rebel-held Yemeni port of Hodeida in the early hours of Friday.
But a daylight inspection showed that the vessel had not been impacted by the missile and had not sustained damage, UKMTO and Ambrey said in a later update.
