Houthi Attack in Red Sea Kills Four; U.S. Strikes Vessel Near Oman

Four crewmembers were killed when Iran-backed Houthis attacked the Egyptian-owned cargo ship Tihamah in Bab el-Mandeb—three Pakistanis and one Indonesian—while two rescuers from an anti-Houthi group were killed during a follow-up rescue; ten people were injured. Separately, U.S. forces fired two Hellfire missiles at the Panama-flagged container ship Vela Nova in the Gulf of Oman, disabling its steering gear after it reportedly violated a naval blockade, underscoring ongoing shipping tensions around Yemen and Iran-linked activity.

Houthi double strike on Bab al-Mandeb cargo ship leaves six dead amid Iran-war escalation

Yemen’s internationally recognised government says the Houthi rebels killed at least six people and wounded ten in a double strike on the Egyptian-owned cargo ship Tihamah in Bab al-Mandeb, the first shipping deaths linked to Houthis since the US-Israel war on Iran began; three Pakistanis and one Indonesian were killed, with a second strike hitting rescuers and killing at least two troops. Ten people were wounded in total. The incident comes as hostilities resume after a collapsed UN-backed truce, with broader regional tensions and ongoing attacks on shipping, and the US stating it targeted a vessel in the Gulf of Oman.

Houthi Strike Kills Four on Red Sea Cargo Ship, Deepening Shipping Disruptions

A suspected Iran-backed Houthi attack in Bab el-Mandeb reportedly killed four crew aboard the Egyptian-owned cargo ship Tihamah, including two Pakistanis and one Indonesian (the fourth crew member's nationality not confirmed). Separately, the Panama-flagged container ship Vela Nova was reportedly struck by a missile off Pakistan, with The Wall Street Journal citing a U.S. helicopter strike on its rudder. If confirmed, these events would mark the first fatalities in Houthi-linked shipping attacks since the wider Iran conflict began and reflect broader disruptions to Red Sea–Bab el-Mandeb traffic amid a U.S.-led blockade and regional tensions.

Oil prices climbed after Yemen’s Houthis said they fired missiles at Israel, escalating conflict tensions and raising concerns about disruption to Middle East energy flows.

The story also notes Trump’s comments about seizing Iran’s oil and the broader risk of sustained disruption to global supply chains.

"Fatal Houthi Attack Claims Civilian Lives in Red Sea Shipping Incident"

India's navy evacuated all 20 crew members from a vessel in the Red Sea after a Houthi attack killed three seafarers, marking the first civilian fatalities in the Yemeni group's campaign against the key shipping route. The injured were taken to Djibouti for treatment, and maritime organizations are calling for better protection for civilian seafarers in the region.

The French, US, and Indian navies provided assistance to the tanker Marlin Luanda after it was hit by a ballistic missile in the Red Sea, marking the latest attack on commercial shipping by the Houthis.
