British foreign minister condemns Houthi attack on Red Sea ship

British Foreign Minister David Cameron expressed his horror at the deaths of two seafarers who were killed in a Houthi missile strike on a Red Sea merchant vessel on Wednesday.

"Appalled to hear about the deaths of MV True Confidence international crew members in a Houthi attack in the Red Sea. Our thoughts are with their families," Cameron said in a post on X.

"We condemn the Houthis' reckless & indiscriminate attacks on global shipping & demand they stop. We will continue to stand up for freedom of navigation and back our words with actions."
