"US Navy Counters Houthi Maritime Threats Amid Rising Red Sea Tensions"

TL;DR Summary
Yemen's Houthi rebels continue to launch attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea despite increased international efforts to secure the vital maritime route. The U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet commander reports that no ships have been hit since the start of Operation Prosperity Guardian, with Denmark joining the mission and more nations expected to follow. The operation has seen warships from the U.S., France, and the UK patrolling the area, intercepting several Houthi drones and missiles. Shipping companies had rerouted vessels due to the threat, but some are now resuming passage through the Red Sea as security measures intensify.
