"Houthi Rebels Attack U.S.-Owned Ship in Gulf of Aden, Escalating Tensions"

Houthi rebels fired a missile at a US-owned ship in the Gulf of Aden, escalating tensions in the region. The attack on the Gibraltar Eagle, claimed by the Houthis, comes amid American-led strikes on the rebels and has disrupted global shipping. The US military confirmed the strike, and the UK Maritime Trade Operations reported the incident. The US Maritime Administration issued a warning to commercial vessels traveling near Yemen, and President Biden has stated that further measures may be taken to protect people and international commerce. The strikes threaten to ignite wider conflict and have impacted shipping for Qatar, while Saudi Arabia seeks to maintain a delicate détente with Iran amidst the ongoing war in Yemen.
