After heavy US Strikes , Another Ship Attacked In Red Sea by Yemeni forces

A merchant vessel reportedly came under attack in the Red Sea a day after the United States launched strikes against the Houthis (Ansar Allah) in Yemen

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), a detachment of the Royal Navy, said on May 23 that it had received a report of an incident 98 nautical miles south of al-Hodeidah.
