AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoBab al-Mandeb Shipping Deaths: Yemen’s internationally recognized government says Iran-backed Houthis fired three ballistic missiles at the Tihamah cargo ship in the Bab al-Mandeb, killing four crew (three Pakistanis and one Indonesian) and injuring four others, while a rescue team was also hit during the response. Rescue Under Fire: The transport ministry condemned the attack as targeting civilian shipping and said another missile was fired as crews tried to evacuate casualties. Escalation Fears in Yemen: The strike comes as fighting and drone/missile attacks continue across government-held areas, raising worries the violence could spiral back toward wider civil war. Regional Pressure on Shipping: With the Strait of Hormuz still effectively closed, attention remains on Red Sea and Bab al-Mandeb routes, where Houthi actions are already disrupting traffic and increasing risk for crews. Diplomacy Amid Attacks: Pakistan and Qatar both signal talks over managing the Hormuz standoff, even as new incidents keep undermining hopes for a quick de-escalation.
