UKMTO reports of fresh security incident in Red Sea
United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations reported on Sunday that it has received a new report of an incident in the Red Sea, 13 nautical miles from the port of Mokha, off the coast of Yemen.
Since October 7, when the Israeli regime began waging a genocidal war against the Gaza Strip, Yemeni forces have staged numerous operations targeting Israeli ships or those heading towards ports in the occupied Palestinian territories.
The Israeli war has so far claimed the lives of more than 37,800 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured over 86,800 others.
The Yemeni forces have vowed to continue their strikes as long as the Israeli regime sustains its brutal military onslaught and simultaneous siege against Gaza.
