Reuters: US-owned ship hit off Yemen
A US-owned ship was hit by a missile off the coast of Yemen. The publication reports this Sky News.
“The vessel hit by a missile near Yemen is a US-owned Marshall Islands-flagged bulk carrier, according to intelligence firm Ambrey. The missile caused a fire in the ship’s hold, but the ship remains seaworthy, the report says,” the publication notes.
It is also additionally reported that explosions were heard near Yemen's Hodeidah airport.
