US Strikes Houthi Targets: Escalating Conflict in Yemen
Recently US Strikes Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen, targeting devices and missiles aimed at ships in the Red Sea. The operation carried out in response to repeated attacks on vital shipping lanes, saw American forces neutralize unmanned surface vessels and anti-ship cruise missiles. These strikes are part of a series of actions taken by the US and its allies to halt the Iran-backed rebels’ aggressive moves in the region.
Following the Red Sea attacks, shipping companies have faced increased insurance premiums and have been forced to alter their routes, impacting around 12% of global maritime trade. The Houthi rebels’ targeting of shipping vessels has led to heightened tensions and potential disruption to vital trade routes, with significant implications for the global economy.
