"US-led Forces Target Houthi Threats in Red Sea, Killing 11"

The United States conducted strikes against Houthi targets in the Red Sea after the Iranian-backed group fired a missile at the USS Laboon. The strikes targeted unmanned aerial systems and anti-ship missiles, with the US Central Command stating that these actions were taken to protect freedom of navigation and ensure safer international waters. The Houthi attacks have disrupted global shipping, raised concerns about destabilization in the Middle East, and resulted in casualties in Yemen, with the group vowing to continue military operations during Ramadan.

"Houthis' Unyielding Stance in Red Sea Standoff"

Houthi attacks on naval and merchant ships in the Red Sea continue, causing one in five vessels to avoid the Suez Canal. The leader of the Houthis has demanded ships to notify the militia of their routes and declare no connections with Israel to avoid being attacked. The US naval destroyer USS Laboon intercepted a Houthi drone near commercial ships, while six small craft approached a merchant ship in Yemeni waters. The ongoing threat to shipping in the area has led to speculation about carriers altering their routes, and there are reports that COSCO, the world's fourth largest containerline, has stopped visiting Israeli ports.
