According to a report by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), a mine blast occurred in the southern Red Sea near Yemen, causing the death of 3 Egyptian fishermen.
The Saudi-led coalition involved in a war in Yemen saved the other 3 Egyptians on the fishing boat.
The Yemeni Houthi rebels were accused by Turki Al Maliki, the coalition spokesman, of causing the blast that happened in the international waters.
