JMIC 079 records the Damietta event outside the VRA
The joint advisory treats the Eastern Mediterranean strike as a kinetic risk note. It is not a standalone UKMTO warning PDF for Damietta.
JMIC Update 079 (to 2 August) serialises UKMTO 099-26 / 100-26 for the Eastern Mediterranean event. The incident sits outside the UKMTO Voluntary Reporting Area, which is why it did not appear as a classic Red Sea / Gulf of Aden warning sheet.
Eastern Med baseline threat was still described as LOW, with a new kinetic risk noted. For a Master that is the useful distinction: the paper trail exists, but it is not the same product you get for Bab el-Mandeb.
