2025-05-06 13:00:00 CW Alert 007- (May 25) Indian Ocean Advisory Military UKMTO
The UKMTO has reported that there has been sustained kinetic activity in the Red Sea area since mid-March 2025, including recently reported strikes against targets in the vicinity of Hodeidah, between the dates of 05th to 06th May 2025. Vessels within 1000 metres of the shoreline and/or port facilities are considered to be at a higher risk of collateral damage, if berthing is attempted or if vessels are attempting to leave port. The risks of collateral damage also potentially remain, in the event of further strikes against targets in port areas. All vessels are advised to exercise extreme caution in the vicinity of ports that have been subjected to strikes already, and, should consider carefully whether the risk of ongoing navigation/operations in those areas remains judicious.
