The UK Maritime Trade Operations reported today that it "received a report about six small boats approaching a commercial ship, approximately 50 nautical miles southeast of the Yemeni city of Mokha before they left the area." The agency added in a warning notice, "No weapons were seen and coalition forces provided assistance," confirming that "the safety of the ship and its crew has been reported." The Houthis have pledged to continue attacks until Israel stops the conflict in Gaza, threatening to target American warships if they are attacked.
