London/Athens: A Saudi-owned vessel has been attacked in the Red Sea, two sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters on Monday.

It was unclear if the ship was attacked by Iran-aligned Houthi militants.

Earlier, British maritime agencies reported that a merchant vessel was hit by a drone some 50 nautical miles off Yemen's Hodeidah, a Red Sea port just south of Saleef.
