<p>A cargo ship was attacked in the Red Sea off the coast of Yemen, the British navy said on Sunday.</p>
<p>"A cargo vessel has triggered a distress alert stating that they are under attack by unknown armed assailants. Authorities are investigating," UK Maritime Trade Operations said in a report.</p>
<p>The incident was reported 30 nautical miles (55.6 kilometers) southwest of the city of Hodeida, which is under control of the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels.</p>
<p>UKMTO said a skiff approached the bulk carrier and opened fire, prompting the ship's own security guards to return fire. The skiff then sailed back to a larger ship about 2 nautical miles away.</p>
<h2>Who Was Responsible For Latest Red Sea Ship Attack?</h2>
<p>No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack.</p>
<p>The Houthis began attacking cargo ships in the Red Sea in 2023 in response to Israel's offensive in Gaza. The Israeli war in Gaza began after the October 7 Hamas terror attacks that year.</p>
<p>The Houthi attacks disrupted traffic in one of the world's busiest international shipping routes, with companies rerouting their vessels around Africa to avoid the treat.</p>
<p>The Houthis vowed to renew their attacks against ships in 2026 after the US and Israel declared war on Iran, which is the group's primary international backer.</p>
<p>Aside from the Houthis, Somali pirates also have been active in the nearby Gulf of Aden recently.</p>
