US military says it destroyed 10 Houthi drones and three from Iran. Also off the coast of Yemen, the British maritime security company Ambrey reported that a missile fired from Yemen had hit a merchant ship.
The Houthis have carried out more than 35 attacks on ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden since November 19, according to the US Department of Defense. Since November, they have said they have targeted ships linked to Israel in solidarity with the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. These attacks from Yemen have a significant impact on international trade, up to 12% of which passes through this essential area.
