This marks the first security incident reported by the agency since the start of September. 

In August, the agency reported four different incidents. One notable incident occurred on August 21, when a Greek oil tanker, the Sounion, was attacked by a small craft 77 nautical miles west of Hodeidah, Yemen.

No casualties were reported, but the vessel came under small arms fire before the attackers retreated.

Additionally, on August 26, there was a report of a suspicious approach involving an uncrewed surface vessel (USV) near the Yemeni port of Al Mukha

The Yemenis have openly declared their support for Palestine’s struggle against Israeli occupation since the occupation launched a devastating war on Gaza, vowing to continue their operations until the Israeli ground and aerial attacks on Gaza end.
