"Deadly Houthi Missile Attack Strikes Shipping Vessel in Gulf of Aden"

A ballistic missile attack launched by Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen struck and killed crewmembers of the Barbados-flagged vessel M/V True Confidence transiting the Gulf of Aden, resulting in three fatalities, at least four injuries, and significant damage to the ship. The attack, which is the fifth in two days, has prompted international condemnation and calls for increased protection of seafarers in the region, with the International Transport Workers’ Federation urging the industry to divert ships around the Cape of Good Hope until safe transit through the Red Sea can be guaranteed.
