Houthi militants fired two missiles in the direction of a CMA CGM-operated container ship that is linked to US banking giant JP Morgan.
US Central Command said on Thursday that two anti-ship ballistic missiles were launched from Houthi-controlled territory in Yemen, and the 8,600-teu container ship Koi (built 2011) was the likely target, although the vessel is undamaged.
But a source with knowledge of the situation said that the Koi was operating in the convoy and it was not clear which ship was targeted.
