Two ships sailing southwest and northwest of Yemen's port city of Hodeidah reported explosions in its vicinities, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) agency reported on Tuesday.
UKMTO said the first ship’s captain reported that his ship was attacked by an uncrewed surface vessel (USV) which was successfully disabled and two explosions in its close proximity were heard about 63 nautical miles (116 km) southwest of Hodeidah.
UKMTO added that a separate ship located 97 nautical miles (179 km) northwest of Yemen's port city of Hodeidah reported an explosion in its vicinity.
The vessels and crew involved in both incidents are safe and proceeding to their next port of call.
The Houthi attacks have drawn U.S. and British retaliatory strikes and disrupted global trade as ship owners reroute vessels away from the Red Sea and Suez Canal to sail the longer route around the southern tip of Africa.
