[IsraelTimes] A ship has reported being attacked with a missile in the Red Sea, 72 nautical miles (133 km) northwest of the port of Mokha, off Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) agency and British maritime security firm Ambrey says.

"A Panama-flagged tanker was reportedly targeted by a missile. The vessel experienced a kaboom in the vicinity of the vessel and reportedly sustained minor damage. The crew was reported safe and unharmed," Ambrey reports.

Another vessel 3 nautical miles to the northeast of the tanker was observed altering course to port, away from the tanker, Ambrey added.

Yemen’s Iran-backed Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
s said they will press on with attacks on Red Sea shipping in solidarity with the Paleostinians, as long as Israel continues to commit "crimes" against them.

#1  Moka (small export port for its famed and delicious Yemeni coffee) is a port not worth bombing. In fact, finding a target in Yemen worth bombing (outside of Aden) is a real problem.
