“Four crew members were killed in an attack by Iran-backed Houthis on a small cargo ship in the Bab el-Mandeb strait on Tuesday, Yemen’s [Saudi puppet] transport ministry said, while sources reported a missile attack on a container ship off Pakistan in a suspected U.S. strike. The fatalities aboard the Egyptian-owned Tihamah, if confirmed, would mark the first deaths in a Houthi strike on shipping since the Iran war began on February 28. The Houthis have not claimed the attack. Three Pakistanis and one Indonesian were killed, the Yemeni [Saudi puppet] ministry said, adding the crew lost control of the vessel after being attacked. Three coastguard personnel were injured after being targeted by a drone while trying to rescue the crew, Yemeni military sources said. The Houthis declared a maritime embargo against Saudi Arabia in the Red Sea on July 20 in response to what they described as a Saudi siege.” (08/11/26)
