"US Navy Neutralizes Houthi Threat in Red Sea, Safeguarding Maersk Ship"

TL;DR Summary
The US military has sunk three Houthi boats in the Red Sea after they attacked the Singapore-flagged container ship Maersk Hangzhou, which was the second attack on the vessel in less than 24 hours. US helicopters from the USS Eisenhower and USS Gravely responded to distress calls and engaged the Iranian-backed Houthi boats, resulting in the sinking of three boats and the escape of a fourth. The attacks have prompted Maersk to suspend operations in the Red Sea for 48 hours, and despite the presence of a US-led naval coalition, Houthi attacks continue, raising concerns over regional stability and the safety of submarine communications cables in the area.
