A ship was attacked off the coast of Yemen, according to United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations, which cited reports from vessels in the vicinity
The agency said it was made aware of an attack on a merchant ship on Friday.
The incident came days after an explosion rocked an oil tanker docked at a port in Saudi Arabia.
On Saturday, UKMTO said the crew and vessel in the Yemen incident were safe.
The Gulf of Aden is a crucial route for global trade and was until recently vulnerable to Somali pirate attacks.
The ship went to Yemeni port city of Nishtun after it was attacked.
Ambrey, a British private maritime intelligence firm, identified the vessel as the Sierra Leone flagged MV Hasan, a cargo ship bound for Salalah in Oman.
The Hasan is registered to Oasis Shipping, a Marshall Islands firm with an address linking it to a Beirut address for Barhoum Maritime.
The US Navy's Bahrain-based 5th Fleet, which patrols Middle Eastern waterways, said it was aware of the incident but declined to comment further.
No group claimed responsibility for the attack.
In November, a mine in the Red Sea off Saudi Arabia's coast near Yemen exploded and damaged an oil tanker.
The Greek-operated vessel was docked at Shuqaiq in Saudi Arabia.
Suspicion fell on Yemen's Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, who hold the capital, Sanaa, and have been identified by United Nations analysts as using sea mines in the conflict.
Unresolved crisis
Russia and Ukraine have been locked in a bitter conflict since 2014, when Ukraine’s Kremlin-friendly president was ousted, Moscow annexed Crimea and then backed a separatist insurgency in the east.
Fighting between the Russia-backed rebels and Ukrainian forces has killed more than 14,000 people. In 2015, France and Germany helped broker a peace deal, known as the Minsk agreements, that ended large-scale hostilities but failed to bring a political settlement of the conflict.
The Kremlin has repeatedly accused Kiev of sabotaging the deal, and Ukrainian officials in recent weeks said that implementing it in full would hurt Ukraine.
