Security firm says it appeared bomb-carrying drone boats hit the ship after it was targeted by small arms and rocket-propelled grenades.

The British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center said the ship was taking on water and its crew had abandoned the vessel.

A renewed Houthi campaign against shipping could again draw in U.S. and Western forces to the area.

Neither the Yemeni Coast Guard nor the pirates have been known to use drone boats in their attacks.

Pirates from Somalia also have operated in the region, though typically they’ve sought to capture vessels either to rob or ransom their crews.

Jon Gambrell has reported from each of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, Iran and other locations across the world since joining the AP in 2006 .
