Yemeni officials report 6 killed in Bab al-Mandab attack
The toll of the Houthi attack on a Yemeni vessel in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait has risen to 6 dead and 10 injured, with 11 sailors rescued—some from Pakistan and Indonesia. The Houthis targeted the ship "Tihama" with missiles, causing a fire and extensive damage. This comes amid escalating tensions in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden since July, with the Houthis threatening to impose a naval blockade on ships linked to Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia accuses Iran of supporting the Houthis and conducts airstrikes on their positions. The events indicate a rise in maritime violence in the region, with Saudi Arabia strengthening a naval coalition to protect maritime navigation.
