A Houthi drone boat exploded in the Red Sea, posing a threat to ships in dense lanes, the U.S. Navy reports. This follows a joint warning from 12 nations, including the U.S., cautioning the Yemen-based group against further attacks. The Houthi campaign, disrupting international shipping since Nov. 19, aims to protest Israel's actions in Gaza. Despite increased tensions, President Biden's response remains cautious. Operation Prosperity Guardian, involving 22 nations, aims to protect vessels. Retired General McKenzie urges a stronger response, while the U.S. warns the situation in the Red Sea has reached a critical point.
