The attack came a few hours after two cargo ships, one in the Red Sea and the other in the Gulf of Aden, were reportedly hit by missiles, drones, and unmanned boats.
Since the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza broke out last October, the Houthi group in Yemen has been launching anti-ship missiles and drone attacks on Israeli-linked ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden to show solidarity with the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
In response, the US-British naval coalition has conducted regular air raids and missile strikes against Houthi targets to deter the group.
