A British-owned international shipping ship was attacked by missiles
A Houthi missile found its target about 70 nautical miles south of Aden, causing minor damage and minor injuries to a crew member, according to a report by the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM).
According to CENTCOM, the 15,900-deadweight-ton Islander was built in 1996 on its way to the Egyptian Red Sea port of Aladabiya, south of Suez. However, AIS data from VesselsValue showed the ship was moored outside the port of Djibouti. Houthi spokesman Yahya Sare'e said the ship was on fire.
According to VesselsValue, the vessel was owned by Gemstone Marine Ltd, registered in Monrovia, Liberia, under the flag of Palau and insured by British Marine, a British P&I association, which CENTCOM described as "British owned".
Central Command reported:"Houthi armed forces fired two anti-ship ballistic missiles from southern Yemen into the Gulf of Aden. The missile hit a British cargo ship MV Islander flying Palau flag."
The U.S. Central Command reported that the U.S. Navy has successfully shot down a number of missiles and drones "that may target U.S. and coalition warships."
一艘英国所有国际海运船遭导弹袭击
据美国中央司令部(CENTCOM)的报告,一枚胡塞导弹在亚丁以南约70海里处发现了目标,造成了轻微的破坏和一名机组人员的轻伤。
据CENTCOM称,这艘15900载重吨的“岛民”号建于1996年,当时正前往埃及红海港口阿拉达比亚,该港口位于苏伊士以南。然而,VesselsValue的AIS数据显示该船停泊在吉布提港外。胡塞武装发言人Yahya Sare'e称,这艘船着火了。
据VesselsValue的数据,该船由Gemstone Marine Ltd拥有,在利比里亚蒙罗维亚注册,悬挂帕劳国旗,并由英国保赔协会British Marine投保,CENTCOM称该船为“英国所有”。
中央司令部报道:“胡塞武装从也门南部向亚丁湾发射了两枚反舰弹道导弹。导弹击中了一艘悬挂帕劳国旗的英国货船MV Islander。”
美国中央司令部报告称,美国海军已经成功击落了一些“可能针对美国和联军军舰”的导弹和无人机。
