"US Navy Neutralizes Houthi Threat in Red Sea, Destroys Boats and Kills 10"

US helicopters from the USS Eisenhower and USS Gravely successfully defended the Maersk Hangzhou container vessel from an attempted boarding by Iran-backed Houthi militants in the Red Sea, sinking three militant boats and resulting in 10 casualties. The incident raises concerns about regional conflict escalation, as the Houthis have been targeting vessels to support Hamas against Israel. Maersk has temporarily halted Red Sea sailings, and international efforts, including Operation Prosperity Guardian, aim to protect maritime traffic in the region. Despite these efforts, attacks persist, and the US and allies are considering further actions to ensure the freedom of navigation.

"US Navy Neutralizes Houthi Threat in Red Sea, Safeguarding Maersk Ship"

The US military has sunk three Houthi boats in the Red Sea after they attacked the Singapore-flagged container ship Maersk Hangzhou, which was the second attack on the vessel in less than 24 hours. US helicopters from the USS Eisenhower and USS Gravely responded to distress calls and engaged the Iranian-backed Houthi boats, resulting in the sinking of three boats and the escape of a fourth. The attacks have prompted Maersk to suspend operations in the Red Sea for 48 hours, and despite the presence of a US-led naval coalition, Houthi attacks continue, raising concerns over regional stability and the safety of submarine communications cables in the area.
