According to The National Business, the Iran-backed group also claimed an attack on a Saudi ship carrying military equipment.\n\nThe incident has added to the toll on the world's critical shipping lanes due to the ongoing war. A cargoship and containership have been hit in the Red Sea and Gulf of Oman, as reported by CNBC and CNBC World.\n\nThe Yemeni government confirmed the six fatalities from the Houthi missile attack on the cargo ship. The incident has impacted shipping in the region, with traffic in the Strait of Hormuz falling sharply since US-Iran talks broke down.",
