"US Navy Neutralizes Houthi Threat to Shipping in Red Sea Amidst Regional Tensions"

The U.S. Navy neutralized three Houthi rebel boats in the Red Sea after they attempted to board the container ship Maersk Hangzhou, marking the second attack on the vessel in a weekend. U.S. helicopters from the USS Eisenhower and USS Gravely responded to a distress call, engaging and sinking the rebel boats after coming under fire. This incident is part of a series of over 20 attacks by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels targeting shipping routes in the Red Sea, prompting a multinational naval taskforce to safeguard these waters.
