The attack happened off the coast of Mokha, Yemen, the British military's United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said, without presenting any other immediate details.
The private security firm Ambrey said a salvo of three missiles targeted a Malta-flagged container ship traveling from Djibouti onward to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
“The vessel was targeted due to its listed operator’s ongoing trade with Israel,” Ambrey said.
Yemenis have declared their support for Palestine’s struggle against the Israeli occupation since the regime launched a devastating war on Gaza on October 7 after the territory’s Palestinian Resistance movements carried out a surprise retaliatory attack, dubbed Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, against the occupying entity.
Yemeni Armed Forces have said that they won’t stop their attacks until unrelenting Israeli ground and aerial offensives in Gaza, which have killed at least 34,488 people and wounded another 77,643 individuals, come to an end.
The United States and Britain in December announced a military coalition to target Yemen in support of Israel.
