Houthi attack kills 2 in rebels' 1st fatal assault on Red Sea shipping vessel

U.S. and British officials say at least two crew members are dead, and several more are injured, after a ship navigating off the coast of Yemen was attacked by Iran-backed Houthi rebels on Wednesday. The deaths mark the first reported fatal strike on a commercial vessel in the region, which has seen tensions rise since Israel's war on Hamas.
