Pakistan says 3 nationals killed in Houthi Red Sea attack

Pakistan's foreign minister has expressed condolences to the families of three Pakistani nationals killed in a Houthi attack on a commercial vessel in the Red Sea. The minister also strongly condemned Houthi attacks on commercial vessels.

According to reports, a cargo ship and a container ship have been hit in the Red Sea and Gulf of Oman, taking a toll on the world's critical shipping lanes. The Yemeni government has reported that six people were killed in a Houthi missile attack on a cargo ship in the Red Sea, although it is not clear if this is the same incident that resulted in the deaths of the three Pakistani nationals.

The Houthi group has claimed responsibility for attacks on military sites in Yemen's Marib and Mocha, with a military spokesperson saying that dozens of people were killed and injured in the missile and drone strikes.
