Aerial drone likely launched by Yemen's Houthi rebels hits ship in the Red Sea
SUMMARY
An aerial drone, believed to be launched by Yemen's Houthi rebels, targeted and damaged a vessel in the Red Sea near the port city of Hodeida. The attack, occurring at dawn, involved a Liberia-flagged container ship bound for Qingdao, China. Although the ship sustained damage, all crew members were reported safe. The Houthis have been responsible for over 60 attacks on vessels in the region, claiming their actions are in response to conflicts involving Israel and Hamas. Meanwhile, the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower is returning home after leading U.S. efforts against Houthi assaults during an eight-month deployment.
