The first incident involved a vessel approximately 100 nautical miles northwest of Saleef, Yemen, which was hit by an unknown object in the cargo hold, causing damage above the waterline, but no casualties or fires. A subsequent report indicated that another vessel 60 nautical miles southeast of Aden, Yemen, was targeted by a drone on the port side, resulting in a fire that has been extinguished. The UKMTO and British maritime security firm Ambrey confirmed these incidents. The Houthis have claimed responsibility for an operation against an American vessel in the Gulf of Aden, likely referring to the drone attack reported by the UKMTO.
