The Houthi group based in Yemen carried out an attack on a commercial vessel in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait in the Red Sea, resulting in the death of six people, including four crew members from Pakistan and Indonesia, along with two rescue workers. The group launched three ballistic missiles at the ship, which was carrying food supplies; they claimed that it was transporting military equipment.
