TL;DR Summary

Yemen's Houthi rebels targeted a Singapore-flagged vessel in the Gulf of Aden, while the U.S. and its allies intercepted and downed 15 bomb-carrying Houthi drones in the same area. The rebels claimed responsibility for the attack on the ship, as well as launching 37 drones targeting American warships. The ongoing campaign of assaults by the Iranian-backed group is linked to Israel's war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip, although recent attacks have targeted vessels with no apparent connection to the conflict.
