Houthis Launch One Of The Largest Drone And Missile Attack In the Red Sea
The Houthi rebels in Yemen carried out one of their largest attacks on Red Sea ships, which caused an extensive naval clash with the British and American navies. A barrage of Drones and missiles were deployed, targeting vessels that were close to the Yemeni port cities of Mokha and Hodeida. The incident happened while the U.N. Security Council was getting ready to vote on whether to denounce and demand that the Houthi attacks cease immediately.
The targets of the Houthi rebels strikes have progressively grown disconnected from the Israel-Hamas conflict, even if they claim that their acts are intended to offset Israel’s offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
The attacks threaten one of the world’s most important commercial routes, which connects Asia, the Middle East, and Europe through the Red Sea. The attack was described as a “Complex attack” by the U.S. military’s Central Command, involving anti-ship ballistic missiles, anti-ship cruise missiles, and drones carrying bombs. Eighteen drones, two cruise missiles, and an anti-ship missile were successfully intercepted and downed by U.S. and U.K. warships, including the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, USS Gravely, USS Laboon, USS Mason, and the U.K.’s HMS Diamond.
This marks the 26th incident since November 19 that the Houthi rebels have attacked commercial ships in the Red Sea. Fortunately, this most recent occurrence did not result in any reported damages or casualties. To stop these attacks, the international community—represented by a coalition led by the United States—has been patrolling the Red Sea, and the U.N. Security Council is currently considering a draft resolution addressing the Houthi attacks.
Attacks on vital waterways in the Red Sea have raised worries about possible disruptions in international trade. The current situation is made more complex by the provisional cease-fire between the Houthis and a coalition led by Saudi Arabia in Yemen.
