Houthi missile attack kills 3 crew members in Yemen rebels' first fatal assault on shipping

Video Description

The U.S. military says a missile attack by Yemen’s Houthi rebels on a commercial ship in the Gulf of Aden has killed three of its crew members and injured at least four. It was the first fatal strike in a campaign of assaults by the Iranian-backed group over Israel’s war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip. U.S. Central Command says the missile caused significant damage to the Barbados-flagged bulk carrier called True Confidence, and the crew had to abandon the ship. Yemen’s Houthi rebels claimed the attack on the vessel and insisted their assaults would continue as long as Israel's war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip continues.
