The British Maritime Trade Operations Authority said that a missile landed near a ship in the Gulf of Aden, 59 nautical miles southwest of the port of Aden in Yemen. The British maritime security company Ambrey also announced that a ship southwest of Mukalla had been targeted.

A British ship called "MV Rubymar" was sunk earlier by the Houthis in the Red Sea. Since the beginning of this year, the US-led Guardian of Prosperity coalition has launched raids that it says target Houthi sites in various regions of Yemen.
