TL;DR Summary

Yemen's Houthi rebels targeted a Singapore-flagged ship in the Gulf of Aden, while the US and its allies downed 15 bomb-carrying Houthi drones in the same area. The rebels claimed responsibility for the attack on the ship and also launched 37 drones targeting American warships. The Houthi's actions, including attacks on commercial ships and downing of an American drone, are seen as attempts to pressure Israel to stop the war in Gaza, despite their targets having little to do with the conflict. The ongoing conflict in Yemen has resulted in a long-stalemated civil war and airstrikes by the US, with casualties reported on both sides.
