Houthi rebels have inflicted the first fatal attack on a ship since the Iran-backed group began reprisals for the Israel-Gaza War in November 2023.
Three seafarers on the Barbados-flagged 2011-built Supramax bulk carrier True Confidence were killed when anti-ship ballistic missiles hit the ship at 11.30 am (Yemen time) on 6 March, while three others suffered burns.
The US Central Command (Centcom) said, “The crew abandoned the ship and coalition warships responded and are assessing the situation.”
