Ambrey says it's aware of incident southwest of Yemen's Hodeidah port

DUBAI, July 7 (Reuters) - British maritime security firm Ambrey said on Monday it was aware of an incident 49 nautical miles southwest of Yemen's Red Sea port of Hodeidah.

Earlier in the day, Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis said that a cargo ship they struck with gunfire, rockets and explosive-laden remote-controlled boats had sunk in the Red Sea, after their first known attack on the high seas this year.
