UKMTO reports a merchant vessel was targeted by the Houthi group near Yemen, escalating Red Sea tensions.

The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported a maritime incident 80 nautical miles south of Yemen's Aden port on Sunday. Preliminary reports suggest the Houthi group targeted a merchant vessel, though details are still unclear. Since November, the Houthi group has disrupted "Israeli-linked" shipping in the Red Sea, leading to US-British coalition air raids and missile strikes against Houthi targets since January. Authorities are investigating the incident.
