Yemen's government said three Houthi ballistic missiles hit the small food-carrying cargo ship Tihamah near Bab el-Mandeb, killing four crew, three Pakistanis and one Indonesian, and that a second strike hit rescuers, killing two of them. Pakistan's foreign minister confirmed three Pakistani deaths and one injured.
Why it matters
Yemen's government called it a 'double-tap' strike; CNN described it as a serious escalation and a sign the Iran war is spilling across the region.
