Three projectiles hit a merchant vessel off Yemen's rebel-held port city of Hodeida on Wednesday, causing a fire onboard and leaving the ship without engine power, the British maritime security agency UKMTO said.

The ship initially exchanged fire with two small vessels, one with three to five people onboard while the second carried around 10, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations said.

The ship was later "struck by two unidentified projectiles before being hit by a third," the agency, which is run by Britain's Royal Navy, said.

"There is a fire onboard and the vessel has lost engine power," it said, adding that there were no reports of casualties.

"The vessel is drifting and not under command," UKMTO said.

A spokesperson for the Greek port authority identified the vessel as the Greek-flagged Sounion, an oil products tanker owned by Delta Tankers, a Greek shipping company.

The ship carrying&nbsp;a crew of 25 people, mostly Filipinos, departed from Iraq and was destined for a port near Athens, where many refineries are based, the Greek port authority said.

No injuries have been reported so far, according to the port authority, which said the ship could have been hit either by missiles or drones.

There was no immediate claim for the attack, but it comes as the Iran-backed Houthi rebels keep up a nine-month-old campaign against international shipping in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden that they say is in support of Gaza.

Their campaign of rocket and drone attacks has severely disrupted maritime traffic through the Red Sea, which normally accounts for up to 12 percent of world trade.

The United States and Britain have responded by striking Houthi targets in Yemen since January, but the attacks have done little to deter the rebels.

The Israeli military said on Sunday (July 21) that it intercepted a missile fired from Yemen towards the Red Sea resort town of Eilat, after Israel bombed a port held by the country's Houthi rebels.

"The projectile did not cross into Israeli territory. Rocket and missile sirens were sounded following the possibility of falling shrapnel," the military said in a statement.

Israel's aerial defence system has repeatedly shot down Houthi weapons off the coast of Eilat in recent months.

<h2>Israeli airstrikes hit Yemen, claims three lives</h2>

Meanwhile, three people were killed in an Israeli airstrike in Houthi-controlled Yemeni port of Hodeida, the Iran-backed group said on Sunday (July 21), a day after the group's deadly drone attack in Tel Aviv.

The strikes on the port, which triggered a raging fire and cloud of black smoke, are the first claimed by Israel in the Arabian peninsula's poorest country, about 2,000 kilometres (1,300 miles) away, analysts said.

"There is a prize for every Israeli citizen’s blood," Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant said, adding more operations against the Houthis would follow "if they dare to attack us".

Gallant stated that the strikes on Hodeida served as a warning to other Iran-backed armed groups throughout the Middle East, which have claimed responsibility for attacks on Israel during the Gaza conflict.

"The fire that burning in Hodeida, is seen across the Middle East and the meaning is clear," Gallant said.

The Israeli strikes killed three people and injured 87, according to a statement from the rebel-run health ministry, as reported by Houthi media. The ministry previously noted that most of the injured had sustained severe burns.

They, however, didn't disclose the exact timing of the attack.&nbsp;The report stated that the long and yellow rocket with Roman numerals on its fins was seen in the video being launched from a mobile platform in an unidentified desert location.&nbsp;

Houthi claimed in the video that the statement described the Hadim 2 as a solid-fuel hypersonic ballistic missile manufactured by Houthi military facilities. It also added that this marked the first public revelation of the missile.&nbsp;

The news agency Reuters reported that Houthi said on Tuesday (Jun 25) that they used a new ballistic missile to hit the MSC Sarah V vessel in the Arabian Sea, claiming responsibility for an attack reported a day earlier.&nbsp;

The Red Sea and Gulf of Aden Joint Maritime Information Center on Monday (Jun 24) said the Liberian-flagged vessel was targeted by a missile in the Arabian Sea. They said it was not hit.&nbsp;

Yahya Sarea, the Yemeni group's spokesperson, claimed an "accurate and direct" hit on the ship, describing the vessel as "Israeli".&nbsp;

According to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), the crew were reported safe and that the vessel, which was sailing 246 nautical miles off Yemen's Nishtun when it was targeted, was heading to its next port of call.&nbsp;

<h2>When did Houthi test a hypersonic missile?&nbsp;</h2>

Earlier this year in March, Houthi successfully tested a hypersonic missile as claimed by the group to Russian media.&nbsp;

Citing a source, Sputnik had reported, "Missile forces of the movement have successfully tested a missile that can reach speeds of up to Mach 8 [6,200 miles per hour] and is powered by solid fuel."&nbsp;

"Yemen plans to begin manufacturing it for use in attacks in the Red and Arabian Seas and the Gulf of Aden, as well as against targets in Israel," it added.&nbsp;

Hypersonic weapons fly at speeds higher than Mach 5 and the one claimed to have tested by Houthis is Mach 8 which is eight times the speed of sound. Such missiles could pose crucial challenges to missile defence systems because of their speed and manoeuvrability.&nbsp;

Explosions near ship off Yemen, crew 'reported safe': UKMTO

The crew on board a bulk cargo carrier which sustained damage after a missile attack by the Iran-backed Yemen-based Houthi rebels in the Gulf of Aden has abandoned the ship, the US military said on Saturday (Jun 15).

Another cargo ship, the Anna Meta, rescued the crew, said the US Central Command or CENTCOM.

This comes days after the American forces in the region said two cruise missiles launched by the militant group struck the vessel.&nbsp;

<h2>Crew abandons M/V Verbena&nbsp;ship&nbsp;</h2>

The M/V Verbena, a Palauan-flagged, Ukrainian-owned, and Polish-operated ship, had been targeted on Thursday (Jun 13) in two separate missile attacks, CENTCOM said.&nbsp;

At around 1:45 pm (Sanaa time), the crew issued a “distress call indicating they were abandoning the ship,” it added in a statement.

The Iran-backed militant group has been targeting vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden since the beginning of the war between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas in Gaza. Houthis claim the attacks are in solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.&nbsp;

According to the US military, the crew on board the Verbena issued the distress call because it could not control fires sparked by the attack.&nbsp;

“The Iranian frigate IRIN Jamaran was eight nautical miles from M/V Verbena and did not respond to the distress call,” the CENTCOM added.&nbsp;

The attack left one sailor severely injured, who was later evacuated by US forces in the region.&nbsp;

Houthi spokesperson Yahya Sarea had said the ship Verbena was “hit directly, leading to a fire breaking out on board.”

Sarea also confirmed attacks on two other ships – Seaguardian and Athina.&nbsp;

The US military said that two cruise missiles launched by Yemen's Iranian-backed Houthi rebels struck a bulk cargo carrier in the Gulf of Aden on Thursday. The strike severely injured a sailor who was evacuated by American forces in an aircraft from the USS Philippine Sea (CG 58).&nbsp;

In a statement, the US Central Command said that the M/V Verbena, a Palauan-flagged, Ukrainian-owned, Polish-operated ship, "reported damage and subsequent fires on board. The crew continues to fight the fire. One civilian mariner was severely injured during the attack". The cargo carrier had docked in Malaysia and was on its way to Italy carrying wood.&nbsp;

"Aircraft from USS Philippine Sea (CG 58) medically evacuated the injured mariner to a partner force ship nearby for medical attention," CENTCOM said adding that "this continued reckless behavior by the Iranian-backed Huthis threatens regional stability and endangers the lives of mariners across the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden".&nbsp;
