A merchant vessel reported on Monday two explosions close to the ship about 14 nautical miles southwest of Yemen's Al Dhubab, British maritime security firm Ambrey said.
The report followed a statement by the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations agency, which said it had received a report of an incident 25 nautical miles south of Yemen's port of Mokha.
It was not immediately clear whether the two incidents were related.

Turkish state media reported on Friday that two Turkish nationals were arrested in Istanbul on suspicion of spying for Israel’s foreign intelligence service, the Mossad, a claim that could not be independently verified.
