One Indonesian crewman missing, two survive Yemen vessel attack

The Foreign Ministry of Indonesia is coordinating with their Yemeni counterparts to update the public on the search and rescue mission for a missing Indonesian crew member after a Houthi attack on the MV Tihamah cargo ship. Two Indonesian crew members survived the attack, which left at least six people dead. The two survivors are in stable condition, with one experiencing minor injuries from shrapnel and the other undergoing medical treatment.

The search and rescue mission is ongoing, with the Foreign Ministry's citizen protection director, Heni Hamidah, stating that they are in close communication with the Yemeni Foreign Ministry. Earlier this week, the Yemeni coast guard confirmed the attack on the Tanzania-flagged ship in the Bab el-Mandeb strait, resulting in four crew members and two Yemeni rescuers losing their lives.
