ALBAWABA- In a report from the British Merchant Marine Operations Authority, an accident has been reported 60 nautical miles southeast of Aden.
In a recent update, an American official informed Al Jazeera that a commercial ship belonging to a U.S. company was targeted in a drone attack originating from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen.
British maritime authorities have confirmed that the Marshall Islands-flagged bulk Carrier was hit by an Unmanned drone approximately 66 miles southeast of Aden.
The captain of the ship involved in the incident reported a fire on board, which has since been successfully extinguished.
The situation in the Red Sea waters is expected to heighten due to the recent decision by the US Department of State to re-list the Houthis as a global terrorist organization.
This move comes in response to Houthi attacks on ships bound for Israel, a reaction to the Israeli aggression on Gaza.
