CAIRO: A Netherlands-flagged general cargo ship was struck by an unknown projectile on Monday about 120 nautical miles southeast of Yemen’s port city of Aden, according to maritime security firms.

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) agency said military authorities reported the incident, without giving details on the source of the attack.

Private maritime security company Ambrey confirmed the vessel had come under attack in the same area.
