Houthi militants have scored their second hit on a merchant vessel in less than a week.

An Eastern Mediterranean Maritime bulker was damaged when it was targeted by three missiles and three drones on 29 April, as it was sailing 54 nautical miles (100 km) west of the Yemeni port of Mocha.

Despite the hit, the 60,400-dwt Cyclades (built 2017) and its crew are safe and headed to its next port of call, US and UK military authorities said.
