> Houthi rebels killed 6 people aboard a cargo ship in the Bab el-Mandeb on Tuesday, the first reported deaths from an attack on Red Sea shipping in more than a year.
> The dead included 4 crew on the Tihamah, an Egyptian-owned, Tanzania-flagged vessel, 3 of them Pakistani and 1 Indonesian. The other 2 were members of a Yemeni government-allied force, killed in a follow-up strike while running the rescue. A Houthi-aligned outlet later said the target was carrying Saudi military equipment. The group has said nothing about the bodies.

> Hours later, at the other end of the Arabian Peninsula, a U.S. Navy helicopter put 2 missiles into the Panama-flagged Vela Nova in the Gulf of Oman, disabling its steering and propulsion after the crew ignored warnings. Central Command says it has redirected 55 ships, disabled 3, and boarded 2 since reimposing the blockade on Iranian ports in April.
