Learned: On March 4, local time, Yemen’s Houthi armed military spokesman Yahya Saraya issued a statement saying that the Houthi armed forces targeted a container ship "MSC SKY" sailing in the Arabian Sea that day. Round II) launches multiple rockets and hits the target.

The Houthis said that earlier on the same day, they also carried out missile and drone attacks on multiple U.S. warships in the Red Sea.

At the same time, the UK Maritime Trade Operations Office (UKMTO) reported that a ship located 91 nautical miles southeast of Aden, Yemen, was attacked. The ship suffered two explosions during the attack and the hull was damaged. No reports of casualties have been released.


The UK Maritime Trade Operations Office (UKMTO) added that the first explosion occurred some distance from the port side of the ship and the second explosion caused damage to the ship. The captain reported a fire and smoke on board, but luckily the fire was eventually extinguished by the crew!

Although the British Maritime Trade Action Office did not give the name of the ship that was attacked, according to the sailing position of the MSC SKY II provided by Ship News Network, the British Maritime Trade Action Office reported that the ship "had two explosions and the hull was damaged". It may be the MSC SKY II round that the Houthis claimed to have attacked and hit!
