Houthis kill four in first deadly attack since start of Iran war, Yemen says
If confirmed, it would be the first deadly strike by the group on a vessel since the US and Israel started a conflict against Iran. Yemen's transport ministry said the ship was hit with three ballistic missiles, south of the port of Mocha, causing a fire on board and resulting in the deaths of four crew, three Pakistanis and one Indonesian. The Houthis began attacks on shipping last month - announcing a naval blockade of Saudi ports.
