    A tanker that was hit by a missile off the coast of Yemen was due to make a stop in Israel, its owners have confirmed.

    The MT Strinda was attacked in the Red Sea near the port city of Mokha on Monday night.

    The ship caught fire but the crew on board managed to bring the blaze under control and there were no reports of any injuries.

    Yemen’s Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for the attack and said the Norwegian-owned ship was heading to Israel.

    Shipping firm Mowinckel had earlier said the vessel was carrying biofuel from Malaysia to Italy via the Suez Canal.

    But it has now admitted it was also “tentatively” scheduled to make a stop at the Israeli port of Ashdod.

    “Upon the recommendation of our security advisers, it was decided to withhold this information until the vessel and her crew were in safe waters,” the company said in a statement on Tuesday.

    The ship and its crew have now travelled to a “safe port”, a spokesperson added.

    It comes amid a growing number of attacks on ships in the Red Sea by Houthi rebels as they attempt to put pressure on Israel to stop bombing the Gaza Strip.

    Houthi spokesperson Brigadier Yahya Saree said the group fired a missile and then used a drone to attack the vessel after it “rejected all warning calls.”

    He added: “The Yemeni armed forces continue to prevent Israeli ships from navigating the Red Sea until the Israeli aggression against our steadfast brothers in the Gaza Strip stops.

    “The Yemeni armed forces renew their warning to all Israeli ships or those associated with Israelis, that they will become a legitimate target if they violate what is stated in this statement.”
