   the first fatalities claimed by the group since it began targeting vessels in
   the Red Sea.
 * The vessel True Confidence “suffered damage” in a Houthi altercation on

According to an official statement by the navy, Barbados-flagged Bulk Carrier MV
True Confidence was reportedly ‘hit by a drone/missile’ in the south-west of
Aden on Wednesday, resulting in fire onboard and critical injuries to some of
the crew members forcing the crew to abandon the ship.

Three people were killed in a Houthi attack against a civilian merchant ship,
U.S. authorities said, marking the first lives claimed since the Iran-backed
militant group began targeting the Red Sea shipping route at the end of last
year.

The U.S. Central Command said late Wednesday night that Houthi forces struck the
Barbados-flagged, Liberian-owned bulk carrier True Confidence in the Gulf of
Aden on Wednesday with an anti-ship ballistic missile, leading to several
fatalities.



“The missile struck the vessel, and the multinational crew reports three
fatalities, at least four injuries, of which three are in critical condition,
and significant damage to the ship,” Centcom said. “The crew abandoned the ship
and coalition warships responded and are assessing the situation.”

The Philippines Department of Migrant Workers identified two of the seafarers
killed and two of the crew members injured in the incident as Filipino in a
social media post early Thursday.

“With great sadness, the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) confirms the deaths
of two Filipino seafarers in the most recent attack by Houthi rebels on ships
plying the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden,” it said, withholding their names and
identities. “We are also informed that two other Filipino crewmen were severely
injured in the attack on their ship.”

The vessel “suffered damage” in a Houthi altercation on Wednesday, 54 nautical
miles southwest of Aden, after being hailed by an entity declaring itself as the
“Yemeni Navy” for 30 minutes and ordered to alter course, according to the U.K.
Maritime Trade Operations. The ship was not identified by name at the time.

The Houthis have claimed the attack.

“The naval forces of the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a targeting operation
against the American ship (TRUE CONFIDENCE) in the Gulf of Aden, with a number
of appropriate naval missiles. The strike was accurate, led to a fire breaking
out on it,” Houthi Spokesperson Yahya Sare’e said on the X social media
platform, adding that the vessel had rejected Houthi warning messages.

“All crews of the targeted ships must quickly leave after the first attack,” he
said.

CNBC has reached out to the ship’s operator, Third January Maritime.

This is the first fatal Houthi attack since the group started maritime
offensives against vessels transiting through the key Red Sea route that
accounts for 12% of global traffic. The Houthis claim solidarity with
Palestinian civilians at risk in Israel’s military campaign against Iran-backed
militant group Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

The Yemeni forces say they only target ships connected to Israel, the U.S. and
the U.K. — after the latter two started retaliatory missile strikes in response
to the Red Sea disruptions — but have repeatedly attacked unaffiliated vessels.

On Saturday, the Belize-flagged general cargo ship Rubymar became the first
casualty to sink in the Red Sea, after drifting abandoned at sea following a
Houthi attack mid-February.

In a separate incident earlier this week, four key telecommunications cables in
the Red Sea were severed. The cause of the severance was not immediately clear,
but the incident impacted 25% of traffic, HGC Communications said.
