US-owned cargo ship hit in missile attack in Yemen - a day after Houthi rebels blasted British vessel in war-torn Red Sea

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A US-owned cargo ship has reported a missile strike off the coast of Yemen this morning.

No crew were injured in the strike, which came a day after a British cargo ship was forced to evacuate in a similar hit.

The security firm Ambrey reported the strike on Monday morning. It remains unclear who owns the vessel, that was 93 nautical miles east of Aden in Yemen at the time.

Ambrey described the vessel as a Greek-flagged, US-owned bulk carrier bound for Aden, Yemen, from Argentina. Those details, combined with ship-tracking data, identified the vessel as the Sea Champion. Its managers could not be immediately reached.

Both Ambrey and UKMTO (United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations) said the vessel and its crew - including five Greek members - were safe and proceeding to the next port of call.

The strike is the latest in a series of attacks against Western ships in the region where Iran-backed Houthi rebels continue to attack vessels in the Red Sea to protest the West's support of Israel in the war against Hamas in Gaza.
