UKMTO reported the attack Tuesday via Warning 117-26, placing it about 40 nautical miles southeast of Al Mukha, Yemen. The vessel was unmanned when struck by multiple unknown projectiles, leaving it a constructive total loss; no name or circumstances of its being unmanned were provided.
The attack follows last month's oil-slick reports from the grounded Caroline Bezengi off Oman, which anchor a period of sharply increased Gulf maritime security incidents.
