An open hatch general cargo ship, which is operated by Lebanese nationals and is registered under the flag of Belize, reported being attacked in Bab al-Mandab Strait on Sunday, according to a warning note released by British maritime security company Ambrey.

The ship was reportedly traveling north from Khor Fakkan in the United Arab Emirates to Varna, Bulgaria, when the attack took place.

“The partially laden vessel briefly slowed from ten to six knots and deviated course, and contacted the Djiboutian Navy, before returning to her previous course and speed,” the note read.
