Houthis restart attacks in the Gulf of Aden
Yemen’s Houthi rebels have resumed attacks in the Gulf of Aden, targeting international shipping lanes with ballistic missiles and drones. The recent assaults have hit several commercial vessels, though most reported no significant damage or casualties. However, at least three sailors were killed in one incident. These attacks mark the Houthis’ first major actions since a brief hiatus following Israeli airstrikes on their positions.

A security official on the CMA CGM operated vessel said a missile struck the vessel, but “no fires, water ingress or oil leaks have been observed,” according to a statement from the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center.
