The Saudi Amzan ship was attacked in the Red Sea on Monday, Saudi Arabia's national shipping company Bahri confirmed in a statement, noting that all crew members were safe and no injuries had been reported.

The confirmation comes following claims by Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis earlier on Monday that they attacked a vessel off Saudi Arabia’s port city of Yanbu, in comments by the group’s ​military spokesperson Yahya Saree in a televised speech.

Earlier in the day, the United Kingdom ​Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) agency said a tanker was struck by an unknown projectile 63 nautical miles west of Yanbu.

The UKMTO said all crew were safe and accounted for with no reported environmental impact.
