Houthi attacks in the Red Sea
Last year, the Yemeni Houthis began actively using weapons supplied by Iran to attack ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
Several times, their drones or missiles hit merchant ships, causing them to be damaged.
In particular, 2 weeks ago, it became known that Houthis attacked a tanker in the Red Sea. The vessel was damaged.
