Dubai: Houthi militants attacked a United Arab Emirates ship off the coast of Yemen, wounding one crew member, Saudi Press Agency reported on Thursday.
“A UAE ship was attacked by a missile fired by the Houthi militias, causing no damage to the ship. … One crew member was injured,” SPA said, citing a statement by the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen.
The ship was attacked upon its departure from the Yemeni port of Al-Mokha. The Red Sea port of Al-Mokha is close to the Bab Al-Mandab shipping lane through which much of the world’s oil passes.
