Three projectiles hit a merchant vessel off Yemen's rebel-held port city of Hodeida on Wednesday, limiting the ship's ability to maneuver, British maritime security agency UKMTO said.

"The merchant vessel had been struck by two unidentified projectiles before being hit by a third," United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations said, adding that there were no reports of casualties but "the vessel reports being not under command."
