Islander is the name of the vessel, two shipping sources said. US-led coalition forces are responding to the incident, which involved two missiles being fired at the ship 70 nautical miles southeast of Aden, Yemen. Iran-aligned Houthi militants in Yemen have launched repeated drone and missile strikes in the Red Sea since November. — Reuters
