Tensions in the Middle East have escalated due to the United States' backing of the Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip, which has resulted in the deaths of at least 28,340 Palestinians, predominantly women, and children, leaving 67,984 others injured since October 7th.
Earlier today, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported that it received a report of an incident 40NM south of the Yemeni port city of al-Mukha.
The latest announcement comes following a series of aggressions launched by the American and British forces on several governorates in Yemen.
