A Saudi commercial ship was reportedly struck by a missile while transiting the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, leaving three crew members dead as tensions surrounding Red Sea shipping continue to escalate. According to reports, the vessel was allegedly targeted by Yemen’s Houthis, also known as Ansarallah, with the missile reportedly launched from eastern Taiz Governorate. The three crew members reportedly killed were two Pakistani nationals and one Indonesian national. The vessel’s exact identity and the full extent of the damage remain unclear, while some details circulating online have yet to be independently verified. Reports also suggest a possible second missile was launched during a rescue operation, although that information remains unconfirmed. The incident comes amid growing Houthi threats against Saudi-linked commercial shipping in the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb. Any sustained disruption in this strategic maritime chokepoint could force ships to take longer routes around Afri
