The latest incident follows another attack on a Bahri vessel near the Strait of Hormuz, which took place roughly a month ago.

In addition, two other Bahri vessels, AMZAN and MASA, were targeted in the Red Sea following announcements by Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen about a naval blockade against Saudi Arabia.",
