Houthis Claim Attack in Bab al-Mandab

The Houthis in Yemen carried out an attack on a commercial ship in the Bab al-Mandab Strait, resulting in the death of six individuals, including four foreign sailors, and injuring others. The attack targeted a vessel carrying Saudi military equipment, according to the Houthis, while the Yemeni Coast Guard confirmed that the ship was a commercial vessel that was repeatedly targeted with missiles while sailing, leading to the deaths of three Pakistanis, one Indonesian, and injuring seven others. Coast Guard and rescue forces managed to evacuate the dead and wounded, and also destroyed a booby-trapped boat used by the Houthis that attempted to approach the ship. This attack comes amid ongoing escalation off Yemen's coast, with tensions persisting since July 2026, amidst a military escalation between the Houthis and the Saudi-backed government after a period of relative calm.
