"Houthi Missile Strike Claims Lives of Civilian Mariners in Red Sea"

Houthi militants in Yemen launched a missile that struck a commercial vessel in the Gulf of Aden, killing two civilian mariners and injuring six others. This marks the first known fatalities in the Houthis’ recent campaign against maritime traffic, with the attack on the MV True Confidence being the fifth anti-ship missile launched in two days. The area has become increasingly dangerous due to Houthi targeting of ships, which they claim is in response to Israel’s actions in Gaza. The United States and Britain have responded with strikes against Yemen, and a new coalition has been formed to counter Houthi attacks and ensure freedom of navigation.
