Yemen’s Houthi movement said it carried out a drone and missile attack on shipping in the Red Sea, claiming the assault hit two commercial vessels. The allegation was reported by Reuters, which cited the group’s statement. No independent confirmation of damage or casualties was included in the available report.

The Red Sea has remained a major flashpoint as Houthi attacks have disrupted commercial traffic and raised security risks for vessels passing through one of the world’s busiest maritime corridors. Shipping companies and naval forces have repeatedly warned of the potential for wider economic fallout if the attacks continue.

The latest claim adds to a pattern of maritime violence tied to the Yemen conflict and regional tensions. Civilian shipping has been repeatedly caught in the crossfire, underscoring the danger to crews, global trade routes, and regional stability.
