Houthi militants attacked a United Arab Emirates ship off the coast of Yemen, wounding one crew member, Saudi state news agency SPA reported on Thursday.
"A UAE ship was attacked by a missile fired by the Houthi militias, causing no damage to the ship. ... One crew member was injured," SPA said, citing a statement by the Saudi-led coalition fighting in Yemen.
The ship was attacked upon its departure from the Yemeni port of Al Mokha, SPA said.
The Red Sea port of Al Mokha is close to the Bab Al Mandab shipping lane through which much of the world's oil passes.
