Tensions in the Red Sea escalated dramatically as Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels targeted the Panama-flagged bulk carrier Anadolu S with two missile strikes in a matter of hours. The first attack occurred late Sunday night, narrowly missing the vessel's stern. Despite warnings, the ship continued its course, prompting a second strike the following day, landing just a nautical mile away.
While no casualties or damage were reported, the incident highlights the Houthis' growing maritime campaign, which they claim is in solidarity with Gaza. The Bahrain-based Combined Task Force confirmed the strikes, raising concerns over shipping safety in the region. This bold assault underscores the escalating risks for international vessels navigating the Red Sea amid intensifying regional tensions.

Pentagon is alarmed by Yemen's Houthi rebels' rapidly advancing military capabilities, with top weapons buyer Bill LaPlante expressing shock at their sophisticated missile and drone arsenal. Despite US denials of successful attacks on naval vessels, Houthis claim to have disrupted maritime operations. While the US accuses Iran of supporting the rebels, the Houthis are leveraging their military capabilities to advance political demands.

In a fiery televised address, Yemen's Ansarullah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi accused the U.S. of complicity in Israel's ongoing military actions in Gaza and Lebanon, claiming American-made weapons are fueling a broader campaign of extermination in West Asia. Houthi warned of potential strikes on U.S. warships if they entered the Red Sea, while hailing Yemeni forces for their successful naval attack on the aircraft carrier Abraham. He criticised Arab regimes for their ties with Israel and urged a mass uprising in Yemen to show solidarity with Palestine, calling for nationwide protests against the U.S-Israeli aggression.

The Pentagon confirmed Houthi fighters launched multiple drones and missiles at US warships USS Stockdale and USS Spruance near Yemen. All attacks were successfully repelled with no damages or casualties. The Houthis claimed an 8-hour assault, including targeting USS Abraham Lincoln, which the Pentagon denied. Since November 2023, Houthis have attacked over 90 vessels in solidarity with Palestinians, prompting US-UK retaliatory strikes on Houthi targets in Yemen.
