Turkey on Wednesday denounced a missile attack targeting a cargo ship in the Red Sea by Yemeni forces , saying measures were being taken to prevent any such further incidents.

“We condemn the missile attacks by the Houthis on the Panama-flagged dry cargo ship Anadolu S, owned by a Turkish company, while sailing off the coast of Yemen,” the foreign ministry said in a statement.

Yemen’s Houthis announced Tuesday they had targeted a Israeli linked cargo ship in the Red Sea while a multinational naval task force said two missiles had struck near the Panama-flagged vessel.
