According to The Hill, beachgoers in several southern states have been warned to proceed with caution.\n\nThe reports do not provide further information on the number of deaths or the specific locations affected by the vibriosis outbreak.\n\nThere is also a separate report of an attack on a cargo vessel near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, but this appears to be unrelated to the vibriosis outbreak.",
