According to the UK Maritime Trade Operations Office (UKMTO), the Houthis fired two missiles that exploded in the immediate vicinity of the vessel, about 240 kilometers east of Aden. The crew was not injured and the container ship continued on its route.
On Saturday, August 31, the U.S. Navy's Joint Maritime Information Center confirmed that the Liberian-flagged container ship Groton was the target of the attack. This is the second attack on the vessel by Houthis in August. During the first incident, a missile hit the vessel just above the waterline, causing minor damage.
