According to Reuters on February 19**, the British maritime security intelligence company Ambury said on the 19th that a Greek-flagged American cargo ship reported a missile attack in the Gulf of Aden on the same day and requested military assistance.
According to the report, the British Maritime Operations Office, which is affiliated with the British side, said it received a message from a ship located about 100 miles east of the port of Aden in Yemen (1 mile is about 16 km). According to the ship, ** happened in close proximity to it.
Both Ambury and the UK's Office of Maritime Operations said the vessel and crew were safe and on its way to its next stop.
According to a previous report by the Associated Press, Yemen's Houthi spokesman Yahya Sarrea issued a statement on the 19th, saying that the Houthis attacked a Belizean-flagged British freighter with missiles, and said that the freighter was "currently in danger of sinking".
According to reports, the British Maritime Operations Office said that the Belizean-flagged freighter was attacked on February 18, and "a very close proximity to the vessel**" caused damage to the vessel, but the crew was safe.
In addition, Saraya claimed that the Houthis shot down an MQ-9 Reaper drone near the Red Sea port city of Hodeidah.
According to the report, the Houthis have surface-to-air missile systems that can shoot down American drones. In November last year, the Pentagon admitted to the loss of an MQ-9 Reaper drone, which was shot down by the Houthis over the Red Sea.
