According to preliminary data, the ship was hit by water spray and a loud noise was heard, caused by an unidentified projectile, according to Western media. Praise was given to the swift response that ensured the safety of everyone on board the ship. The British Maritime Trade Operations continues to monitor the situation in the area to ensure the safety of ships and maritime operations. This incident occurs amid escalating security challenges in the nearby maritime regions, highlighting the need to enhance security measures to protect marine navigation in the area. The Yemeni group “Ansar Allah” announced last July an escalation of its military attacks against Israel, starting a new phase of naval attacks, threatening to target ships belonging to any company dealing with Israeli ports anywhere reachable by the group’s forces, in response to the continued operations of the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip.
