In the past 72 hours, Houthi forces in Yemen said they had launched missiles and drone attacks on British, American and Israeli ships in the Red Sea.
On April 7, Houthi forces in Yemen said they launched missiles and drone attacks on British, American and Israeli ships.
This is the latest attack by this force on ships in the Red Sea.
In the announcement, Houthi said the above activities took place in the past 72 hours.
The Houthis have targeted a British ship and several US destroyers in the Red Sea, while also attacking two Israeli ships in the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean as they were en route to Israeli ports.
Meanwhile, the US Central Command said it destroyed a mobile surface-to-air missile system of the Houthi forces on April 6 and shot down a drone over the Red Sea. However, no casualties or damage were recorded.
The above situation has increased tensions in this area, seriously threatening maritime security and safety.
Security unrest in the Red Sea has forced many shipping lines to suspend operations through the Red Sea and switch to the longer and more expensive sea route around the Cape of Good Hope at the southern tip of Africa.
