Six people were killed in a Houthi attack on the Red Sea

On Tuesday, Al-Houthi attacked a cargo ship in the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, killing six people, the first in more than a year, as a result of an attack on a Red Sea shipping. The United States military subsequently indicated that they had fired missiles at a container vessel that was trying to break the blockade on Iranian ports. The incident highlighted the impact of the war on important shipping routes across the globe, although diplomats had indicated that progress had been made in reopening the Strait of Hormuz. According to the Yemeni Ministry of Transport, the victims included four crew members, three of whom were Pakistani nationals and one Indonesian nationals。
