Heightening tensions between Israel and the Houthis due to the ongoing Gaza conflict has led to the Houthis once again targeting ships in the Red Sea and Indian Ocean. The American ship Maersk Yorktown, anchored in the Gulf of Aden, was targeted by Houthi drones, while the Israeli-operated ship MSC Veracruz faced a drone attack in the Indian Ocean. This escalation of attacks marks the latest in a series of confrontations between the warring factions.
