Yemen pro-government media: Houthi forces attack merchant ship, resulting in 3 deaths.

On the 11th, pro-government media in Yemen reported that the Houthi armed group attacked a commercial vessel passing through the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait that day, resulting in the deaths of three crew members. A pro-government television station in Yemen reported that the attack caused the deaths of three crew members, including two Pakistanis and one Indonesian, and that seven other crew members were injured while one crew member went missing. The report did not specify the details of the attacked vessel or the type of weapon used in the assault. The media also stated that the Houthi armed group launched drone attacks in the same waters that day, resulting in at least three injuries among Yemeni coast guard personnel. The Houthi armed group has not yet responded to this incident. Since announcing a "naval blockade" against Saudi Arabia in late July, the Houthi group has repeatedly targeted Saudi oil tankers and oil facilities within Saudi Arabia. On the 9th of this month, the organization claimed to have used drones to attack the Saudi Aramco refinery located in Jizan, Saudi Arabia.
