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.

The United States launched on Wednesday its first airstrikes in the Middle East since suspending its bombing campaign last week, hitting Iran-backed armed groups in Iraq jointly with Saudi Arabia, while Tehran spurned an Omani plan to manage the Strait of Hormuz.
Saudi Arabia said on Tuesday that its air defenses intercepted and destroyed several drones that attempted to target oil facilities in the kingdom's Eastern Province.
Iran on Tuesday executed two men for their role in nationwide protests in January, state media reported, among a series of death sentences that rights groups say have been handed out since the start of the war with the United States.
