迪拜,6月24日(路透社)-英国海上贸易运营部(UKMTO)表示,昨日,阿拉伯海一艘商船报告称其附近发生了导弹爆炸。
UKMTO表示,目前该船上船员已确认安全,该船也正在驶向下一个停靠港。
红海和亚丁湾联合海事信息中心(JMIC)后来确认该船为悬挂利比里亚国旗的集装箱MSC SARAH V,称其在阿拉伯海航行时遭到导弹袭击,但没有被击中。该船在也门尼什顿东南246海里处航行。

JMIC表示,该船报告中,一枚导弹降落在距离该船右舷约50米的水中。
另外,JMIC还在报告中补充说道:“该船很可能是由于以色列的关联而遭到袭击。”。
自去年11月以来,也门与伊朗结盟的胡塞组织一直在航道上发动无人机和导弹袭击,称其行动是为了声援以色列在加沙战争中的巴勒斯坦人。
这一行为造成了红海海域航运的动荡和不安,严重威胁了该地区的航运安全。
胡塞目前还没有对此发表评论。
英文原文
DUBAI, June 24 (Reuters) – A merchant vessel in the Arabian Sea reported an explosion in close proximity to it on Monday, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said.
UKMTO said the crew was reported safe and the vessel was proceeding to its next port of call.
The Red Sea and Gulf of Aden Joint Maritime Information Center (JMIC) later identified the vessel as Liberian-flagged container MSC SARAH V, saying it was attacked by a missile while navigating the Arabian Sea but was not hit.
The ship was sailing 246 nautical miles southeast of Yemen’s Nishtun.
The ship reported a missile landing in the water approximately 50 meters off the starboard side of the ship, JMIC said.
“The vessel was likely attacked due to perceived Israeli association,” JMIC’s note added.
Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi group has been launching drone and missile strikes in shipping lanes since November, saying that it acts in solidarity with Palestinians in Israel’s war in Gaza.
In dozens of attacks, the Houthis have sunk two vessels, seized another and killed at least three seafarers.
There was no immediate comment from the Houthis.
