Cargo ship attacked off Yemen under unclear circumstances

Associated Press  

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — A cargo ship traveling past Yemen in the Gulf of Aden came under attack in unclear circumstances, maritime authorities said Saturday. The ship ended up off the small port city of Nishtun in Yemen’s far east after coming under attack early Saturday morning, according to an alert from the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Organization that is overseen by Britain’s Royal Navy. The eastern part of Yemen where the ship was attacked is held by the country’s internationally recognized government, amid its yearslong war against the Iranian-backed Houthis. “Analysis of previous incident data suggests a number of incidents occurring in the vicinity of the eastern Gulf of Aden that are likely connected to the war in Yemen,” the firm said.
