Two killed in Houthi missile attack on ship – US officials

According to US officials, two people were killed in a missile attack carried out by Houthi rebels on a ship in the Gulf of Oman.

The ship was reportedly carrying humanitarian aid to Yemen when it came under attack. The incident has escalated tensions in the region, with the US condemning the attack and calling for an immediate ceasefire.

The Houthi rebels, who are backed by Iran, have been involved in a prolonged conflict with the Yemeni government and its allies. The attack on the ship is seen as a further escalation of the conflict and has raised concerns about the safety of shipping in the region.

US officials have vowed to investigate the incident and hold those responsible accountable. The international community is also calling for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Yemen to prevent further loss of life.
