A merchant vessel reported it had been attacked early on Monday by three small craft in the Red Sea about 70 nautical miles southwest of Yemen 's port city of Hodeidah, Britain's maritime agency and security firm Ambrey said.An unmanned small craft collided with the vessel twice and two manned small craft fired at it, according to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations .The vessel and crew were reported safe, and it was proceeding to the next port of call, it said.

The group says these actions are in solidarity with Palestinians affected by Israel's war in Gaza.Ambrey said the vessel fitted the Houthi target profile.The vessel conducted "self-protection measures," then after 15 minutes the small craft aborted the attack, UKMTO said.
