Houthi Missile Strike Kills Two Crew Members on Cargo Ship off Yemen Coast
Two crew members lost their lives in a missile strike on a cargo ship off the southern coast of Yemen, an act attributed to Houthi forces, international media reported.
The incident marks the first fatalities resulting from the group’s ongoing attacks on merchant vessels traversing the volatile waters of the region. The strike, which occurred in the Gulf of Aden around 09:30 GMT, also left six other crew members injured. The vessel, flagged under Barbados, was left abandoned and adrift with a fire raging onboard, according to media sources.
