[Regnum] The Yemeni Houthi rebel movement Ansar Allah attacked the Israeli-owned commercial ship Pacific 01 and a United States Navy destroyer in the Red Sea. This was reported by the military representative of the movement, Yahya Saria.
“The Yemeni Navy carried out an operation using several anti-ship missiles that targeted the Israeli ship Pacific 01 in the Red Sea. At the same time, the air force carried out an operation using several UAVs against an American destroyer in the Red Sea,” he said on Al Masirah TV channel.

“The Yemeni Navy carried out two high-quality military operations, during which they attacked the US vessel Propel Fortune with anti-ship missiles in the Gulf of Aden,” he said.
Saria added that the Houthis also attacked several US Navy destroyers with 37 drones.
Prior to this, in January 2024, the United States announced the start of an operation against the Houthis in Yemen.
According to Western media, the US leadership initiated a military operation against the Yemeni Houthi movement Ansar Allah in the Red Sea for ideological reasons, and not for any other reasons. According to them, Biden needed to show that the United States should act as an “indispensable nation.”
However, against this background, the opposite opinion was voiced in the West. Some experts believed that the US military operation in the Red Sea could nullify all diplomatic efforts to resolve the civil war in Yemen and worsen the situation in the region.
Yemen's Houthis began attacks on Israeli-allied ships in late 2023 as a show of support for Gaza. At the same time, they stated that nothing threatens the ships of Russia and China in the Red Sea.
