A general cargo ship came a little too close for comfort to Israeli bombs during an assault on the Yemeni port of Hodeidah on Tuesday.
Ambrey Analytics reported that it had seen video footage indicating that a Saint Kitts and Nevis-flagged vessel was conducting port operations during the airstrikes.
The ship was moored at the berth when the missiles exploded, with blasts reported about 80 metres from the ship’s stern.
Large flames were seen engulfing the south-eastern section of the port, dedicated to bulker operations, Ambrey said. Three bulkers were also in the port at the time
According to local sources, port operations were suspended after the strikes. Four merchant vessels remained in the port.
Ambrey said it was also aware of additional Israeli strikes in the city of Bajil.
Last month, the US attacked the Houthis - controlled port of Ras Isa to try to stem the flow of oil to Yemen
