Houthis Sink Cargo Ship in Red Sea, Killing 3 Sailors
-----------------------------------------------------

Yemen's Houthi fighters have attacked another merchant vessel in the Red
Sea, killing three sailors and wounding two others aboard a
Liberian-flagged cargo ship. Tuesday's attack follows another Houthi
strike on Sunday that sank a Liberian-flagged, Greek-owned ship. All 22
crew members were rescued by a nearby ship responding to their distress
call. The Houthis have vowed to continue attacking Red Sea shipping
lanes until Israel ends its war on the Gaza Strip.
