Possible Yemen Houthi rebels fired 3 missiles seen on Friday off the coast of Yemen toward the Red Sea near an important strait where a ship was passing through and was damaged. Ambrey, a British private security firm, saw 3 missiles fired from the direction of Yemen's Mokha/Mocha. The tanker, out of Panama/Seychelles named the Andromeda Star was the closest vessel to the missiles. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations also reported the missile launchings. The Andromeda Star was using an Automatic Identification System signal at the time. The Andromeda Star was owned by the UK until 2013. The Andromeda Star was traveling from Primorsk, Russia, to Vadinar, India.
