Maritime agencies reported an incident on Sunday southwest of Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea port of Yanbu. According to the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), a vessel experienced a nearby splash from an unidentified projectile and heard a loud bang, though its crew remained safe and the ship continued its journey. British security firm Ambrey confirmed awareness of the incident, located about 37.5 nautical miles from Yanbu. Neither agency identified those responsible, and an investigation is underway.
Yanbu is a key port on Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coast. Since 2023, Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis have targeted ships in the Red Sea they consider linked to Israel, citing support for Palestinians in Gaza. It remains unclear whether the Houthis were involved, and they have not commented.
