The attack took place at around 11:30 am Yemeni time, or 10:30 am Kyiv time. The warships of the US-led coalition, which protects civilian navigation in the Red Sea, are currently in the Gulf of Aden assessing the situation.

The newspaper says that these may be the first victims since  the Yemeni Houthis began attacking ships in the Red Sea. 

Addendum

According to U.S. and Western officials, since November 2023, the Houthis have launched more than 45 missile and drone attacks on commercial vessels and U.S. and coalition warships operating in the Red Sea.

Most of them were repelled by U.S. or coalition destroyers or hit by water.

To date, no commercial vessel passing through the Red Sea has been hit by missiles or drones.

Recall

The EU launches a naval operation called "Aspides" to ensure freedom of navigation in the Red Sea and respond to Houthi militant attacks in Yemen.
