"US Navy Neutralizes Houthi Threat in Red Sea, Destroys Boats and Kills 10"
US helicopters from the USS Eisenhower and USS Gravely successfully defended the Maersk Hangzhou container vessel from an attempted boarding by Iran-backed Houthi militants in the Red Sea, sinking three militant boats and resulting in 10 casualties. The incident raises concerns about regional conflict escalation, as the Houthis have been targeting vessels to support Hamas against Israel. Maersk has temporarily halted Red Sea sailings, and international efforts, including Operation Prosperity Guardian, aim to protect maritime traffic in the region. Despite these efforts, attacks persist, and the US and allies are considering further actions to ensure the freedom of navigation.
