The UK Maritime Trade Organization announced that a tanker was targeted by an unknown projectile 63 miles from the port city of Yanbu, Saudi Arabia.

The organization stated that the incident occurred on Monday, September 2, and noted that as a result of the impact from the unknown projectile, part of the ship's deck caught fire, but the crew is in good health. The UK Maritime Trade Organization also reported that no environmental damage has been reported as a result of this incident.

The name and flag of the tanker have not been disclosed, and no group has claimed responsibility for the attack so far.

Yanbu is the main energy export terminal for Saudi Arabia in the Red Sea. The Houthis of Yemen declared a ban on navigation for Saudi and Saudi-related ships on July 20, and since then, they have claimed responsibility for multiple attacks on tankers.
