"Houthi Rebels Target Civilian Ship, Prompting Red Sea Shipping Crisis"

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.

Houthi Rebels Target Singapore-Flagged Ship in Gulf of Aden, US and Allies Down Drones

Yemen's Houthi rebels targeted a Singapore-flagged ship in the Gulf of Aden, while the US and its allies downed 15 bomb-carrying Houthi drones in the same area. The rebels claimed responsibility for the attack on the ship and also launched 37 drones targeting American warships. The Houthi's actions, including attacks on commercial ships and downing of an American drone, are seen as attempts to pressure Israel to stop the war in Gaza, despite their targets having little to do with the conflict. The ongoing conflict in Yemen has resulted in a long-stalemated civil war and airstrikes by the US, with casualties reported on both sides.
