A Houthi attack on a cargo ship near the Bab el-Mandeb results in deaths of crew members, with reports citing multiple casualties among Pakistani nationals and one Indonesian national.
The two outlets differ slightly in the reported number of Pakistani victims: Times of India says two Pakistanis and one Indonesian are killed, while India Today reports three Pakistanis and one Indonesian killed. Both accounts agree that the incident occurs in the Bab el-Mandeb strait, a key maritime chokepoint connecting the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
While both reports attribute the strike to Houthi forces, they provide limited additional detail on the ship’s identity, the circumstances of the attack, or whether any other crew members are injured or missing. The discrepancies are confined to the count of Pakistani casualties; the presence of one Indonesian death is common to both versions.
