Houthis Target MSC Orion Container Ship in Indian Ocean Amid Solidarity with Palestinians

Yemen’s Houthis have claimed responsibility for a drone attack on the MSC Orion container ship in the Indian Ocean. The attack is part of the group’s ongoing campaign against international shipping in support of Palestinians against Israel’s military actions in Gaza. The Houthis have been accused of launching numerous drone and missile strikes in the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandab Strait, and the Gulf of Aden since November. The United States and Britain have retaliated with strikes against Houthi targets.
