"US Navy's Red Sea Destroyer Thwarts Yemeni Drone Assault"

Tensions from the war in Gaza have spilled over into the Red Sea, impacting merchant shipping. The Houthis, an armed group controlling northern Yemen, have been launching drone and missile attacks on Israeli and American targets, aiming to prevent Israeli ships from sailing the Red Sea until Israel stops its war on Hamas. The US and UK militaries have shot down multiple attack drones, while the Houthis claim to have launched drones towards the Israeli port of Eilat. The shipping industry is bracing for economic fallout as major companies temporarily suspend shipping through the Red Sea, threatening global trade. The escalating Houthi attacks have implications for the global supply chain, as the Red Sea connects Europe and Asia and is linked to the Mediterranean Sea through the Suez Canal.
