Houthis Continue Disrupting Red Sea Shipping Amid Israel-Gaza War
Yemen's Houthi militants have stated that they will continue their "military operations" in the Red Sea, despite the formation of a multinational naval coalition led by the United States to protect commercial shipping in the region. The Houthi attacks on commercial ships have disrupted one of the world's busiest shipping routes, with several companies, including BP and Maersk, pausing their shipments through the Red Sea. The US-led coalition, which includes countries like the UK, Bahrain, Canada, and France, aims to deter the Houthi attacks, which have targeted merchant vessels using ballistic missiles and drones. The conflict between the Houthis and the US-backed government forces in Yemen has caused a severe humanitarian crisis and led to tens of thousands of deaths.
