- Houthis struck a ship at the Bab al-Mandeb strait, killing six people, according to Yemen's government (Al Jazeera).
- Pakistan confirmed three of its citizens were among those killed in the attack, per AP News reporting.
Why it matters: The Bab al-Mandeb strait is a vital chokepoint for global shipping; a fatal attack on a vessel there extends disruption to Red Sea maritime routes that have already diverted commercial traffic.
