A blast has damaged a Turkish bulker off Yemen, but the cause is not yet clear.

Reuters reported the 52,000-dwt Ince Inedolu (built 2002) had a hole torn in its side on 10 May as it brought wheat to the port of Saleef, controlled by Houthi rebels.

A Saudi-coalition ship received a call from the master of the Ince Shipping bulker to report an opening in the hull, a coalition spokesman said.
