Recent aggressive actions by Yemen's Houthi rebels have escalated tensions in the Red Sea and surrounding areas. The Houthis attacked the Panama-flagged oil tanker MV Andromeda Star, which was en route to India, prompting a response from the Indian Navy destroyer INS Kochi. Concurrently, the U.S. military engaged five unmanned drones over the Red Sea, identified as threats by U.S. Central Command. Additionally, the Houthis claimed responsibility for downing a $30 million U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone and targeting the Cyclades bulk carrier, signaling a broader strategy against international maritime and military assets.
Iran-backed Houthis have increased their attacks and made several claims of targeting numerous ships in recent days, including claims, without evidence, that they were targeting Israel-linked ships. Story by @sfrantzman https://t.co/UseyEXq8ow
