Houthi attacks on commercial vessels continue unimpeded

The Yemen-based Houthis have attempted several attacks over the last week in the waterways off the coasts, showing the problem has not gone away despite it disappearing from the headlines.

Late last week, U.S. forces destroyed one air defense sensor in Yemen, destroyed one uncrewed surface vessel, two patrol boats in the Red Sea, and an uncrewed aerial system, according to U.S. Central Command, which has come to the defense of dozens of commercial vessels the Houthis have targeted.
