Four crew, two rescuers killed in Red Sea attack; missile strike reported in Gulf
On August 11, four crew members were killed and two Yemeni rescuers were also killed in an attack by Iran-backed Houthis on a small cargo ship named Tihamah in the Bab el-Mandeb strait, according to Yemen’s transport ministry and Coast Guard. This marks the first time in the ongoing Iran war that crew members have been killed in a Houthi strike on shipping.
The ship, owned by Egyptian companies, had recently left the Yemeni government-held port of al-Mokha. Meanwhile, a missile was reportedly fired at a container ship, Vela Nova, off Pakistan, suspected to be from the U.S., according to several sources.
