As the fate of a Greek-controlled bulker that suffered water ingress and serious damage from a Houthi attack on Wednesday remains unclear, a new incident was reported on Thursday.

Maritime security firm Diaplous said that a merchant vessel reported via VHF that it was targeted by a missile at 08:15 GMT as it was sailing 82 nautical miles (159 km) north-west of the Houthi-controlled port of Hodeidah in the Red Sea.
