Houthi Missile Hits Chinese-Owned Tanker in Red Sea

A Chinese-owned oil tanker was hit by Houthi missiles in the Red Sea, despite the rebels previously stating they would not attack Chinese vessels. The tanker, Huang Pu, issued a distress call but did not request assistance, and no casualties were reported. The US military engaged six drones launched by the Houthis following the attack, with five crashing into the Red Sea and the sixth flying into a Houthi-controlled area of Yemen. The rebels have intensified their strikes on Red Sea shipping in recent months, targeting vessels and threatening to disrupt global trade.

The Navy has had to intercept multiple unmanned surface vessels, a new and potentially lethal threat. The constant combat pace has taken a toll on sailors, but efforts to maintain morale include providing wi-fi access for communication with families back home. The ships have conducted numerous intercepts and self-defense strikes on Houthi targets, with sailors expressing the challenges and adrenaline of being at sea for an extended period.
