A UK-based maritime security firm, Ambrey, published the new incident in the Red Sea in the early hours of Monday but did not mention the details.
There is also no claim of responsibility either from the Yemeni army or elsewhere in the region.
The reported attack comes amid growing tensions over the joint aggression by the United States and Britain against Yemen.
On Saturday, the spokesman for Yemen’s armed forces confirmed targeting a British oil tanker off the country’s west coast in the Red Sea.
“A number of rockets were fired on the vessel and the target was appropriately hit”, Yahya Saree told in a live broadcast.
Saree also reiterated Yemen’s pledge to keep targeting Israeli-owned vessels or any other ships heading to Israeli ports in the occupied Palestinian territories.
The Yemeni army says its anti-Israeli operations will continue until the regime stops its attacks on Gaza and ends its blockade on the coastal strip.
US-UK aggression
Meanwhile, US Central Command in West Asia known as CENTCOM said on Sunday night that it targeted the areas controlled by Yemen’s Ansarullah movement.
CENTCOM'S website claimed that the US military carried out five attacks in "self-defense" on areas of Yemen and said three anti-ship cruise missiles and an unmanned submarine were hit.
Repeated attacks on the Yemeni soil has sparked condemnation, with some countries calling the strikes a breach of UN Security resolution passed last month in order to the Red sea maritime.
The Yemeni army has for long accused the United States and some of its western allies of trying to protect Israel’s maritime interest while maintaining silence on the regime’s genocide in the Gaza Strip.
Yemen’s armed forces have repeatedly emphasized that navigation in the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea is free for other ships and they enjoy full security except those linked to the Israeli regime.
