British maritime security firm Ambrey said that a Marshall Islands-flagged, Greece-owned bulk carrier was targeted by missiles in two incidents within two minutes off the coast of Yemen.

Ambrey had first reported that the carrier had sighted a projectile near the vessel 43 km northeast of Djibouti’s Khor Angar and 40 nautical miles southwest of Yemen’s Red Sea port city of Mokha.

The crew was unharmed, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said, adding that the vessel is proceeding to its next port of call.
