Three killed in Houthi attack on ship 

Three crew members have been killed in a Houthi missile strike on a cargo ship off southern Yemen.

The Barbados-flagged True Confidence was abandoned after Wednesday's attack, which inflicted significant damage.

Two of the sailors who died were Filipinos and the other was Vietnamese.

The Houthis say their attacks are in support of the Palestinians in the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

Ship owners and the US say it is the first deaths caused by the group's attacks on merchant vessels.
