Growing fears of attacks in the area has seen the UK deploy its most advanced warship off the coast of Yemen.
With a Teekay LNG carrier and a number of naval ships coming under attack in recent weeks and concern growing that terrorists are planning more suicide attempts in the narrow Bab al-Mandeb Strait, the HMS Daring was sent last month to help commercial ships transit the area.
The strait links the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden.
Kevin Doherty from Nexus Consulting told Splash last month there is a significant risk to all ships around Yemen from rockets, and that risk seems to be indiscriminate, being fired at any ship of opportunity.

Britain has quietly deployed its most advanced warship off the coast of Yemen to protect a crucial shipping lane from the threat of Iranian-backed missile attacks, The Times has learnt.
HMS Daring, a Type 45 destroyer, has been diverted from joining a mission in the Gulf to patrol the Bab al-Mandeb strait after three US warships and a United Arab Emirates vessel were targeted in the area.

Cargo ship sunk off Yemen - UNCONFIRMED. - Ships Nostalgia

There are a couple of ’problems’ with this report:
• The vessel was last reported on AIS, in the position of the claimed attack, on 11th November. - The incident supposedly happened on 22nd December.
• The Picture used to illustrate the report is the same (discredited) picture used 18months ago supposedly showing an Egyptian warship being attacked.
• The main source, Ansar Burney Trust, have nothing on their main website.
All other media sources refer to the Ansar Burney Trust. Some claim that the missile was launched from an aircraft.- There has been no Official confirmation.
In War the first casualty is always the truth....
Ansar Burney Trust International est une organisation humanitaire pakistanaise.

La photo m’avait fait tiquer du fait de son improbabilité ainsi que le fait que peu d’articles ont été consacré à la question. D’ailleurs, l’article originel mentionne bien son incapacité à vérifier de manière indépendante l’information.
