Summary

A yacht carrying 14 Indian nationals was struck near Jabal Zuqar island in the Bab el-Mandeb strait off Yemen's coast. The Houthi movement claimed responsibility for a rescue operation and accused Saudi Arabia of the attack; Saudi involvement has not been confirmed. The Indian Embassy in Yemen confirmed the 14 nationals are currently safe and located near Hodeidah. However, casualty figures from broader regional incidents indicate 1 Indian national killed and 2 injured in related strikes, though the specific connection to this yacht incident remains unclear across reports.
