Four killed in the Red Sea as Yemen's Houthis claim Tuesday ship attack

Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis attacked a ship in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, at the southern entrance to the Red Sea, on Tuesday, Houthi-run news agency Saba reported, and Pakistan said on Wednesday that three of its nationals had been ⁠killed in an attack on a ship.

Four crew members of a small cargo ship were killed when it was hit by the Houthis on Tuesday, Yemen's transport ministry said, adding the dead also included an Indonesian.

The fatalities aboard the Egyptian-owned Tihamah marked the first deaths in a Houthi strike on shipping since the Iran war began on ⁠February 28.

The Houthis said the ship was carrying Saudi military equipment. There was no immediate comment from Saudi authorities.
