In a tragic incident, three crew members were killed and four others injured in a Houthi missile strike on a Barbados-flagged commercial ship in the Gulf of Aden, as reported by US officials. The missile strike was launched from Iranian-backed Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen towards the merchant vessel ‘True Confidence’.

The US Central Command revealed that the missile hit the vessel, resulting in three fatalities and at least four injuries, with three in critical condition. The crew of the ship, consisting of sailors from various nationalities including India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, and Nepal, managed to escape using lifeboats as the ship suffered significant damage. Unfortunately, three crew members are still missing.

The UK Maritime Trade Operations agency confirmed that the crew abandoned the ship after the attack, which left the vessel ablaze and damaged. US and British Navy forces deployed in the Red Sea rushed to the scene to provide assistance. The Barbados-flagged bulk carrier had set sail on February 13 towards international waters en route to the Saudi port of Jeddah, as per data from MarineTraffic.

In response to the attack on the commercial vessel, the US and British coalition carried out two airstrikes on Hodeidah airport, reportedly converted into a military base by the Houthi fighters. The Houthi-run al-Masirah TV reported the destruction of the airport, which was previously damaged during the Yemeni civil war. No comments have been made yet by the coalition regarding the airstrike on the airport.
