A VESSEL has been hit by a rocket in the Red Sea off the coast of Yemen.
It comes hours after a US warship downed a cruise missile fired by the Houthi rebels.
Location of the rocket attack
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) broke the news on Monday.
It was claimed that the incident took place 110 miles South East of Aden, a port city in Yemen.
Port side of the vessel was hit above from a missile.
Authorities are now investigating.
It comes after a US fighter jet shot down a missile fired at an American warship in the Red Sea on Sunday.
The missile appeared to be a retaliation following Britain and America’s strikes in Yemen last week.
Iran-backed Houthi rebels appear to be striking back after the UK and US blitzed their strongholds in an unprecedented attack.
