Houthis Sink Cargo Ship in Red Sea, Killing 3 Sailors

HeadlineJul 09, 2025

Yemen’s Houthi fighters have attacked another merchant vessel in the Red Sea, killing three sailors and wounding two others aboard a Liberian-flagged cargo ship. Tuesday’s attack follows another Houthi strike on Sunday that sank a Liberian-flagged, Greek-owned ship. All 22 crew members were rescued by a nearby ship responding to their distress call. The Houthis have vowed to continue attacking Red Sea shipping lanes until Israel ends its war on the Gaza Strip.
