In the Red Sea, a ship was hit by a suspected Houthi rebel attack near Hodeida port, amid Yemen’s conflict. The vessel sustained damage but the crew is safe, per UKMTO. The attack is seen in the context of Houthi retaliation against Israel's Gaza campaign. Houthis have targeted ships since November, aiming to pressure Israel. However, recent targets have had little connection to the conflict. While Houthis haven’t claimed responsibility, they've previously acknowledged similar actions. Despite missile launches toward Israel, most have been intercepted. The incident underscores the ongoing tensions in the region.
