Three crew members have been killed in a Houthi missile strike on a cargo ship off southern Yemen, US officials have said.
This is the first deaths the group’s attacks on merchant vessels have caused.
The Barbados-flagged True Confidence had been abandoned and was drifting with a fire on board after the strike.
It was hit at about 11:30 local time (08:30 GMT), the US military said.
The Houthis say their attacks are to support the Palestinians in the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
