Shipping Routes Under Fire | Sydney News

Two ships targeted in volatile Middle East waters: the Tihamah, hit by suspected Houthi fire in the Bab el-Mandeb, claimed three lives — two Pakistanis and one Indonesian — marking the first fatalities from such an attack since February.

Both incidents underscore deepening chaos in critical shipping lanes, with traffic already plummeting and investigations ongoing.
