The UK’s Maritime Trade Operations agency has said it’s received reports of an incident involving a suspected drone over the Red Sea west of the Yemeni port of Hodeidah.
It warned vessels transiting the area to “exercise caution”.
British maritime security company Ambrey also said it was aware of a drone incident in the same area, and it was investigating.
There were no further details about the reported incident, which follows a series of attacks in Middle Eastern waters since the war broke out between Israel and Hamas.
On Sunday, the US military said three commercial vessels had come under attack in the southern Red Sea.
Yemen’s Houthi group claimed drone and missile attacks on two Israeli vessels in the area – but the Israel Defence Forces said they had no connection to Israel.
