Houthi media report strikes on Ras Isa port and a merchant vessel
The Houthi-run 26 September website reported two Saudi strikes on Ras Isa port on Sunday evening, adding, citing a local source, that a series of strikes hit the quay and a merchant vessel alongside it. The report did not identify the vessel or specify damage or casualties. Neither the alleged strike nor its consequences could be independently verified, and the coalition’s earlier statement does not establish a connection to this particular incident.

UKMTO publishes warning about a report of a vessel struck in Hormuz
UKMTO’s official account published warning 191-26 at 18:22 UTC. The notice says a merchant vessel’s master relayed a Mayday call on VHF Channel 16 reporting that another vessel had been struck by an unknown projectile inside the Strait of Hormuz; it lists 15:09 as the incident time, before this monitoring window, without a separate issue time. Publication of the warning is confirmed, not independent verification of the attack; the notice names neither the vessel nor a perpetrator and gives no injury or damage assessment, while authorities investigate.
