The Houthi regime in Yemen has vowed to continue targeting shipping in the Red Sea after the latest rocket attack on Thursday against a British-operated bulker.

Crew reported an attack from a rocket that landed close to the 58,800-dwt Lycavitos (built 2007), some 160 km east of Aden. Shrapnel from the explosion caused minor damage.

None of the crew on board the ship, operated by London-based Helikon Shipping Enterprises, was hurt.
