Pakistan says 3 nationals killed in Houthi Red Sea attack
Pakistan's foreign minister has said Islamabad "strongly condemns" Houthi attacks on commercial vessels while offering condolences to the families of the dead.
Pakistan has reported the loss of three nationals in an attack on a commercial vessel in the Red Sea, according to Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar. The minister expressed strong condemnation of the Houthi attack, emphasizing that such actions endanger innocent lives, violate international law, and threaten maritime security. Pakistan's Foreign Ministry is liaising with Saudi Arabia and Yemen to gather more information about the incident.
The Pakistani Embassy in Riyadh is overseeing the repatriation of the deceased nationals. Earlier this week, separate attacks on shipping were reported by both the US and Iran-backed Houthi rebels, suggesting that peace negotiations between Washington and Tehran remain stalled. The recent incident in the southern Red Sea reportedly resulted in the deaths of four crew members, though it is unclear if this was the same vessel mentioned by Dar.
