"Escalating Red Sea Tensions: US-Owned Ship Hit by Missile, UN Warns Against Further Escalation"

Yemen's Houthi movement threatens to target US ships in the Red Sea region, expanding their previous pledge to only target Israeli ships or those en route to Israel. This comes after US and British strikes on Houthi sites in Yemen. The escalating conflict has led to disruptions in maritime trade through the Suez Canal, with some vessels re-routing to a longer East-West route via the southern tip of Africa. The Houthi attacks have impacted companies and alarmed major powers, with at least 15 tankers altering course in response to the conflict.
