The Houthis, who are backed by Iran, have launched several attacks on foreign ships in response to Israel’s military campaign against the terrorist organization Hamas.

Iran had supplied the Houthis in Yemen with three ballistic missiles, which the Navy shot down. It was the first time an anti-ship ballistic missile was used by the Navy to shoot down an incoming ballistic missile.
Twelve one-way attack drones, three anti-ship ballistic missiles, and two land attack missiles fired by the Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group were shot down by naval assets, including the USS Laboon and F/A-18 Super Hornets.

Since October 17, the Houthis have shot down almost 100 drones. The group has caused disruptions to international shipping in the area by attacking over 21 foreign vessels.
The container ship MSC United VIII, owned by the Swiss company Mediterranean Shipping Co. (MSC), was attacked on Tuesday at 12:25 UTC while traveling from King Abdullah Port, Saudi Arabia, to Karachi, Pakistan.
“Currently, all crew are safe with no reported injuries and a thorough assessment of the vessel is being introduced,” MSC stated in a statement.

“Our top priority continues to be ensuring the lives and safety of our seafarers, and MSC will keep rerouting vessels scheduled for transit through Suez until their safety can be guaranteed ” through the Good Hope Cape.”
After Israel launched a military campaign against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, attacks in the Red Sea have increased dramatically.
Big shipping firms have been sending their ships around Africa and the Cape of Good Hope instead of the Red Sea, which has increased costs and caused delays. One such company is the Danish behemoth Maersk.
