据英国海上贸易运营局(UKMTO)称,周日深夜,一艘经过红海南部的商船险些遭到导弹袭击。
这艘船位于也门港口城市穆哈以西约30英里处。据报道,一枚导弹落入了船附近的海域,但没有造成损坏或人员伤亡。
UKMTO在一份咨询报告中表示,根据该船安全人员提供的信息,该船及其船员是安全的,正在前往下一个停靠港的途中。
该机构没有透露该船的名称或所有权。
虽然没有任何组织正式宣称对这起事件负责,但也门与伊朗结盟的胡塞***武装被怀疑实施了这次袭击。
叛军一年多来一直针对红海的商业航运,声称这些行动是在加沙持续冲突和以色列在黎巴嫩的军事行动中声援巴勒斯坦人的。
事件发生地附近的曼德海峡是连接红海和亚丁湾的关键地点,每年促进价值约1万亿美元的贸易。
最近几个月,胡塞武装在该地区发动的袭击有所增加,加剧了紧张局势,并威胁到海上安全。
胡塞武装没有承认发动了袭击,尽管他们经常推迟这样的声明。对商船的持续袭击引发了国际社会的愤怒,人们越来越担心红海航线的安全。
有关当局继续监测局势,因为该地区海上行动的风险仍然很高。

英文原文
A commercial vessel transiting through the southern Red Sea narrowly avoided a missile strike late Sunday night, according to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO).
The ship, which was about 30 miles west of Yemen’s port city of Mocha, reported that a missile splashed into the sea near the vessel, but no damages or injuries occurred.
The UKMTO stated in an advisory that the ship and its crew are safe and on their way to their next port of call, according to information provided by the vessel’s security officer.
The agency did not reveal the vessel’s name or its ownership.
While no group has officially claimed responsibility for the incident, Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthi rebels are suspected of carrying out the strike.
The rebels have been targeting commercial shipping in the Red Sea for over a year now, claiming that these actions are in solidarity with the Palestinians amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza and Israel’s military operations in Lebanon.
The Bab el-Mandeb Strait, near where the incident occurred, is a critical point connecting the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden, facilitating trade valued at approximately $1 trillion annually.
Recent months have seen an increase in Houthi-led attacks in the region, increasing tensions and threatening maritime safety.
The Houthis have not acknowledged the attack, though they often delay such claims. The continued attack on commercial vessels has led to international outrage, with concerns growing about the safety of shipping routes in the Red Sea.
Authorities continue to monitor the situation as the risk to maritime operations in the region remains high.
