A fire appears to have erupted on a ship after it was hit by a missile off the coast of Yemen

Ambry announced that a fire broke out in a commercial ship after it was hit by a missile southeast of Aden.

Ansar Allah military spokesman Yahya Saree announced that a British oil ship in the Gulf of Aden was targeted with a number of missiles, adding that the hit was direct and led to the burning of the oil ship. While a U.S. Defense Department official confirmed that an oil tanker was damaged and hit by an anti-ship ballistic missile launched by the Houthis in Yemen, a Pentagon official said an oil tanker was attacked in the Gulf of Aden.
