Greek-owned ship True Confidence was apparently hit by a missile launched by the Houthis. This is the first time an attack by the Iran-backed rebels has resulted in casualties since they began launching missiles and drones at vessels in the Gulf and Red Sea in November.
The Houthis, undeterred by the air campaign conducted by the United States and Britain against them since the beginning of the year, promise to continue their attacks until the war in Gaza is stopped. It comes after the British cargo ship "Robimmer" sank over the weekend, which was hit by missiles last month.
