A cargo vessel was struck by an unidentified projectile off Yemen's Red Sea port of Mokha, with casualties reported.
Three crew members — two Pakistanis and one Indonesian — were reportedly killed in a Houthi attack on the Tihamah in the Bab Al Mandeb strait.
If confirmed, the deaths would be the first caused by a Houthi strike on a ship since the Iran war began in February.
Shipping through Bab Al Mandeb has dropped significantly, with vessel traffic falling from 50 to 32 ships per day following the blockade.
