American newspaper: The Houthis' bold attacks give Biden difficult choices. The volume of traffic from North American and European ships crossing the Red Sea decreased by 67% in the week ending February 17 compared to October.

Some insurance companies, such as the Norwegian Assurance Frangen Skald, have completely stopped covering all trips close to Yemeni waters. Yesterday, Tuesday, the Houthis claimed responsibility for another series of attacks, including drone attacks on American warships in the Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea.
