  "account": "Pakistani nationals were killed in an attack on a commercial vessel in the Red Sea, according to Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar. Another Pakistani national was injured in the incident. Dar strongly condemned the Houthi attack, emphasizing that such actions endanger innocent lives, violate international law, and threaten freedom of navigation and maritime security in the Red Sea. Pakistan's Foreign Ministry is in contact with Saudi Arabia and Yemen to gather more details about the incident. The Pakistani Embassy in Riyadh is coordinating the retrieval and repatriation of the mortal remains of the deceased nationals. On Tuesday, separate attacks on shipping were reported by the US and Iran-backed Houthi rebels as peace negotiations between Washington and Tehran seemed to stall.",
  "summary": "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 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.\n\nThe 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.",
