The news was also confirmed by the UK Maritime Trading Agency (UKMTO).. The ship did not suffer any major damage and continued its journey north. The other attacks have not been confirmed, but the Houthis have exaggerated their claims on several occasions in the past.

The Houthis claim their attacks target ships linked to Israel, the United States or the United Kingdom. However, many of the ships attacked have little or no connection to the war between Israel and Hamasincluding some heading to Iran.
