The UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported two vessel attacks off the coasts of Yemen and the UAE on Monday morning. This follows earlier statements from Iranian security forces that at least three vessels caught fire on Saturday, with two striking mines in and near the Strait of Hormuz. UKMTO noted that at least 14 vessels were attacked between October 8 and 14, marking the highest weekly total since the outbreak of the US-Israel war with Iran. The total number of maritime security incidents has reached at least 149 since March 1. Additionally, the US Central Command stated that the naval blockade of Iranian ports continues, with at least 138 vessels rerouted since the blockade was reinstated.
