A Liberian-flagged ship traveling through the Red Sea was attacked on Monday after another vessel was reportedly sunk by Yemen's Houthi rebels.

AP reported private security firm Ambrey as saying that two security guards who were aboard the Liberian-flagged bulk carrier had been hurt in the latest attack.

The private security firm added that two others have been missing after the attack.

Ambrey said the vessel had been disabled in the attack, which involved men in small boats and drones.
The attack has not yet been claimed by anyone, AP reported.

However, it said that suspicion fell on the Houthis, who earlier Monday said their attack on the Liberian-flagged, Greek-owned Magic Seas on Sunday sank that vessel.
