The Red Sea was shaken by a mysterious operation that disrupted navigation and revealed hidden escalation in one of its most strategic areas.
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) announced on Tuesday that an unusual security incident occurred in the territorial waters east of Aden, an area considered one of the world’s most sensitive and strategic maritime routes.
According to the statement issued by the agency, a commercial vessel was subjected to a dramatic two-hour chase by several small boats, during which gunfire was directed at the ship, approximately 107 kilometers off the Yemeni coast.
Despite the intensity of the situation, the agency confirmed that no crew members were injured and that the vessel was able to continue its journey to its next destination without requiring an emergency stop or intervention.
So far, neither the identity of the ship nor the nationality of its crew has been disclosed, and investigations are still ongoing to uncover the circumstances of the incident and the party behind this mysterious attack.
