The UK Maritime Trade Operations reported on Tuesday that the captain of a ship informed of an explosion occurring 63 nautical miles southwest of Hodeidah, Yemen. The agency added in a memorandum that the ship and its crew are safe and heading to the next port. Since November, the Houthis have been attacking international shipping near Yemen in solidarity with the Palestinians in the Gaza war. The United States and the United Kingdom have carried out strikes in response to Houthi attacks that disrupted global trade, forcing shipping companies to reroute vessels away from the Red Sea and the Suez Canal, opting for the longer route around the southern tip of Africa.
