Around 1 July 2024 (as reported), Houthi forces claimed a cruise missile attack targeting the Lucky Sailor chemical/oil products tanker (IMO: 9464352) in the Mediterranean Sea (coded to North Red Sea) claiming affiliation with companies in violation of the Houthi ban to call at Israeli ports. There were no fatalities or injuries as the missiles likely impacted the water in the Red Sea before reaching the intended target. The attack was not confirmed by other sources. The Lucky Sailor had been anchored in the Mediterranean Sea off Port Said, Egypt, since 28 June.
