A ship on fire, a rescue mission under attack, and a war spreading from Yemen's coast into the Red Sea. Yemen's coast guard says six people were killed after Houthi rebels struck the commercial vessel Tihamah with ballistic missiles near the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, then hit the rescue operation sent to evacuate survivors. The attack comes amid a sharp escalation across Yemen, where Houthi strikes on the government-held port of Mokha have killed seven and wounded dozens more. The violence follows the collapse of a years-long truce and a Houthi blockade targeting Saudi tankers and oil infrastructure, pulling Saudi Arabia and Iran-backed forces deeper into a widening regional conflict at sea. Josh Barnes tells you more. --- Houthi Attack | Houthi Rebels | Yemen War | Red Sea Attack | Bab Al Mandeb | Tihamah Ship | Ship Attack | Commercial Vessel Attack | Houthi Missiles | Ballistic Missile Attack | Rescue Mission Attacked | Yemen Coast Guard | Mokha Attack | Saudi Arabia | Iran Backed Hou
