Three crew members killed in missile attack near Bab el-Mandeb
The strike on the vessel near Bab el-Mandeb is not an isolated regional incident: the strait links the Indian Ocean with the Red Sea and is a major artery for global trade and energy. SRF reports that a missile hit the ship and killed three crew members; Reuters also confirmed the fatal attack. Combined with the collapse in Strait of Hormuz traffic, the incident shows that regional warfare is now disrupting two strategic maritime chokepoints at once.
