Suspected Houthi rebels attacked a vessel in the Red Sea, escalating their campaign against regional shipping.
Suspected Houthi rebels in Yemen caused multiple explosions near a vessel in the Red Sea on Tuesday, though no damage or injuries were reported. This attack is part of the rebels' ongoing campaign against shipping in the region, targeting over 90 merchant vessels since October 2023. The U.N. alleges the rebels may collect $180 million monthly in "safe passage fees." The Houthis claim their attacks are aimed at ships linked to Israel, the U.S., or the UK to end the Gaza conflict.
