US forces sink ‘Houthi’ boats in Red Sea after attack on Maersk vessel

The United States military says it has sunk three boats waging an attack on a container ship in the Red Sea as it continues its patrol mission to counter threats from Yemen’s Houthi rebels. Helicopters from two US warships – the USS Eisenhower and USS Gravely – shot at the “Iranian-backed Houthi small boats” in self-defence on Sunday morning while responding to an SOS call from the Singapore-flagged vessel Maersk Hangzhou, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said. The US helicopters sunk three of the boats, killing several of their crew, it said. A fourth boat escaped. Al Jazeera’s Resul Serdar joins us live from Djibouti for the latest updates. Subscribe […]

Dozens of vessels stranded in Djibouti as Houthis ‘set new rules’ in Red Sea

The US Central Command reports that over 10 hours, 12 one-way attack drones, three anti-ship ballistic missiles, and two land attack cruise missiles launched by the Houthis have been successfully neutralized by the US military. This has led to significant disruptions in business, with a nearly 35 percent reduction in the number of ships transiting the Bab al-Mandab strait. Consequently, numerous vessels have been stranded for six days, uncertain about when they will receive clearance to depart. The Houthis are imposing new regulations, demanding assurances from every passing ship that they have no connections with Israel—neither heading to nor departing from Israeli ports, and not owned by Israelis.

The Houthi fighters launch a missile : Attack on a commercial vessel in the Red Sea

Houthi attacks on tankers passing through the narrow strait of Bab Al Mandab that connects the Gulf of Aden to the Red Sea, have disrupted one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world. Houthis say they are targeting vessels linked to Israel in a show of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. But countries in the region are worried the escalation is disrupting business and could drag them into a wider conflict.

Explainer: Who are the Houthis?

The Houthis began in the 1990’s as a moderate theological movement of the Zaydis, a Shia minority group. Fighting corruption was one of their main aims. The 2003 US invasion of Iraq was a turning point. Analysts believe the war transformed the Houthis into a resistance group with deep anti-American sentiments. In 2015, Houthi fighters seized Yemen’s capital Sanaa. It triggered more than nine years of war between the Saudi-led coalition, which backs the internationally recognised government, and the Houthis, supported by Iran. On October the 31st, the Houthis entered the war in Gaza, firing drones and missiles at Israel. And earlier this month, the Houthis said they would target […]

Shipping companies pause Red Sea journeys after Houthi attacks

A Hong-Kong based shipping company has suspended its activity to and from Israel. That’s after vessels in the Red Sea came under attack from Houthi fighters in Yemen. The Houthis say they’ll continue their attacks if Israel doesn’t stop its war on Gaza. And their activities are starting to have far-reaching consequences, not just for Israel, but globally. Al Jazeera’s Sara Khairat reports from the Israeli port city of Haifa. Maritime expert Victoria Mitchell says while recent attacks on ships in the Red Sea have not led to a complete shutdown of the trading route, there are implications for individual ship operators. “What is important to highlight is the concern […]

Yemen’s Houthis claim missile attack on Norwegian ship Strinda

Yemen’s Houthi rebels say they hit a Norwegian tanker in the Iran-aligned group’s latest military operation amid Israel’s war on Gaza. The Norwegian-owned-and-operated ship, Strinda, was struck on Monday night as it passed through the strategic Bab al-Mandeb Strait separating East Africa from the Arabian Peninsula. On Tuesday, Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said the group targeted the ship because it was “loaded with oil” bound for Israel. The crew refused to respond to all warnings, he said in a televised statement, adding the Houthis would continue blocking ships heading to Israeli ports until Israel allows the entry of food and medical aid into the Gaza Strip.
