Reuters news agency quoted the British maritime security company as saying that an oil tanker was attacked by a missile 88 miles northwest of Hodeidah.
It also reported that the tanker was damaged as a result of the attack, but there were no reports of casualties among its crew.
In a relevant development earlier on Friday, the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) had said that two vessels have been attacked west and southwest of the coastal Yemeni city of Hodeidah, with one merchant vessel having been damaged as a result of the attacks, Al Mayadeen reported.
The first vessel has been attacked 50 nautical miles (58 miles) southwest of Hodeidah, the UKMTO said. The owner of the vessel has said two missiles had flown over the ship and detonated in the distance, adding that the crew was safe and the ship was not damaged.
The ship continued its way to the next port of call, the UKTMO said on X.
The second vessel has been attacked 76 nautical miles west of Hodeidah and has been damaged by a missile that hit it, the UK authority mentioned.
"A merchant vessel has reported that they have been struck by a missile and the vessel has sustained some damage. The crew are reported safe and the vessel is proceeding to its next port of call," the UKMTO said.
The reported incidents came shortly after the US-UK aggression launched more than a dozen airstrikes on several districts in multiple Yemeni governorates. On early Friday, the US-British aggression launched three airstrikes on the coastal district of Abs on the Red Sea in Hajjah province northwest of Yemen, hours after the joint aggression targeted the neighboring Hodeidah province with 11 airstrikes.
