Pakistan reports three nationals killed in Houthi attack
A commercial vessel in the Red Sea was attacked by the Houthi militia, resulting in the deaths of three Pakistani nationals and injuries to another. These incidents are the first of their kind since the Houthis announced a blockade of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait in July, during which the Yemeni government accused the Houthis of killing four crew members and two rescue workers. According to sources, the ship was flying the Tanzanian flag and was owned by companies in Egypt and Yemen. The Houthis claimed that it was carrying military equipment. These developments are part of the Houthis' escalation in the region, amid rising tensions in the Gulf, in the context of a joint defense agreement signed between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, which aims to safeguard freedom of navigation and maritime security in the Red Sea.
