A Houthi missile hit the M/V True Confidence in the Gulf of Aden, killing three and injuring four crew members. This marks the first fatalities from Houthi attacks on merchant vessels. The US military responded, striking two Houthi-controlled drones. The Houthis have targeted ships in the Red Sea since November, disrupting global trade and vowing to strike Israeli, British, and American vessels. Several major shipping firms have suspended Red Sea passages. The attack follows a Houthi-hit ship sinking on Saturday, further escalating tensions in the strategically vital region.
