The U.S. Central Command said on May 25, 2024, the Houthis launched two anti-ship ballistic missiles into the Red Sea, but no injuries or damage were reported. The 'Essex' was anchored off the coast of Alexandria port. The vessel is managed by Zodiac Maritime, which is controlled by Israeli magnate Eyal Ofer. There has been no sign of anything unusual. In an apparent reference to the 'Essex', the British maritime security company Ambrey said in a note that the vessel had traded between Alexandria and Port Said, and had not called at any Israeli port in recent weeks. The tanker was not further offshore Egypt than 15N nautical miles over the prior week. The Houthi language indicated they did not hit the vessel.
