Summary

A yacht carrying 14 Indian nationals experienced an incident near Jabal Zuqar island in the Bab el-Mandeb strait off Yemen's coast. The Houthi movement claimed responsibility for a strike on the vessel and accused Saudi Arabia of carrying out the attack; some reports indicate Houthis said they were conducting a rescue operation. The Indian Embassy in Yemen confirmed the 14 nationals are unharmed and currently in the Hodeidah area, though it has not independently confirmed the circumstances of the incident. According to reports, the incident resulted in 1 death and 2 injured among Indian nationals, though these casualties are not specified as occurring on the yacht itself.
