On 9 January 2024, unidentified forces (likely Houthi forces) used 2 drones that launched rockets targeting the Caravos Harmony bulk carrier (Marshall Islands-flagged) in the South Red Sea around 50 nm west of Al Hudaydah. There were no fatalities or injuries as the rockets impacted water and exploded 300 m from the ship. The attack was not reported by Houthi/UKMTO/CENTCOM but by a maritime security agency. Houthi forces did not claim the attack although it took place amid Houthi attacks against ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
