US Military Strikes Houthi Underwater Vessel in Red Sea

The U.S. military conducted strikes against a Houthi underwater vessel in the Red Sea, marking the first observed use of such a vessel by the Iranian-backed rebel group. The Houthis, who control parts of Yemen, have targeted international commercial vessels passing through the Red Sea, claiming to be responding to Israel's actions in Gaza. The U.S. and its allies have retaliated against Houthi attacks, with more than 2,000 ships diverting course to avoid the Red Sea, potentially causing global shipping delays. The military conducted self-defense strikes against the underwater vessel and other threats, citing an imminent danger to U.S. Navy ships and merchant vessels in the region.
