Aden — Yemen’s Ministry of Transport announced Tuesday that four crew members were killed and four others injured after Houthi militias targeted the Yemeni commercial vessel Tihama in the Bab al‑Mandeb Strait. According to the statement, the ship was hit by three successive ballistic missiles, igniting fires on board. The ministry condemned the attack as a “terrorist crime,” holding the Houthis fully responsible for the casualties and damages. The maritime incident coincided with a large‑scale Houthi offensive on the Red Sea city of Mokha, where the National Resistance Forces led by Tareq Saleh reported the launch of five ballistic missiles and multiple drones. Meanwhile, government sources said the Houthis fired two ballistic missiles westward from Taiz, while official media reported additional strikes on residential neighborhoods in Marib using missiles and drones.
