Security information provider United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations said that the captain of a ship reported a missile striking the water in the vicinity of the vessel 52 nautical miles south from Yemen's Port of Aden.

The UKMTO cited a report of the incident and added that all crew members were safe. They are now heading to their next port.
