Britain’s Maritime Trade Operations Authority said in a note on Tuesday morning, December 26, that it had received a statement of an incident about 50 nautical miles west of the port of Hodeidah.

This comes amid heightened tension in the Red Sea, due to repeated Houthi attacks on commercial ships bound for Israel.

The commission said on its X page that it had received a report of an incident that occurred about 50 nautical miles west of Hodeidah, and that authorities had begun investigating the incident. The authority advised vessels to navigate the area with caution and report any suspicious activity to the department.

Danish shipping company Maersk said on Monday it was preparing to resume operations in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, citing the deployment of a U.S.-led military force aimed at ensuring the safety of trade in the region.
