“Violent clashes are occurring between Houthi warboats and a US warship in the Red Sea,” the report said.

It was clarified that the missiles were launched on December 30 from areas controlled by the Houthis in Yemen. They tried to attack the container ship MAERSK Hangzhou under the flag of Singapore, owned by Denmark.

On the morning of December 31, the UK Navy's Maritime Trade Coordination Center (UKMTO) reported that two explosions occurred off the coast of Yemen, west of Hodeidah. The UKMTO clarified that the ship was not damaged and was sent to its destination port.
