Houthis Escalate Attacks on Maritime Targets in the Red Sea

Yemen's Houthi rebels intensify their campaign against international shipping, targeting various vessels and downing a U.S. drone.

Houthis claimed responsibility for attacking the British oil ship Andromeda Star and downing a U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone.
A Malta-flagged container ship was targeted with missiles near Mokha, Yemen, linked to its trade relations with Israel.
The U.S. military has confirmed the downing of multiple MQ-9 drones by Houthis in recent months.
Increased maritime attacks have led to heightened security advisories for vessels traveling through the Red Sea.
Houthis vow to continue their attacks unless Israel halts its offensive in Gaza, impacting global shipping routes.
