🇾🇪🇺🇸 A recent series of US-British coalition attacks on Yemen, occurring yesterday in retaliation for another Houthi assault on a container ship, was unremarkable.

The Liberian-flagged Pinocchio departed from the Saudi port of Jeddah in the Red Sea and was targeted by two anti-ship missiles near the island of Labuan.

🔻In response, American F/A-18E/F fighters from the aircraft carrier launched at least 15 missiles into the western and northern regions of Houthi-controlled territory.

The targets once again included areas where missile launchers were believed to be located, as well as ammunition depots and drone assembly sites (as stated by the US Central Command).

❗️It is worth noting that the coalition forces had prepared for the raid in advance. U-2S aircraft from Akrotiri and P-8A from Sheikh Isa, excluding MQ-1C, operated off the coast of Yemen yesterday and the day before.

Considering the increasing use of unmanned boats by the Houthis, the deployment of R-8A anti-submarine aircraft in the Red Sea will become regular.

🇾🇪🇺🇸 An exchange of blows recently occurred in the Red Sea region between the Yemeni Ansarallah movement and the US-British coalition.

▪️ Early in the morning, the Houthis launched four anti-ship missiles at US Navy ships located 50 nautical miles southwest of Al-Hodeidah. Official reports indicate that none of the missiles hit their target.

▪️ Another attack took place 76 nautical miles west of Al-Hodeidah: as per the UK Maritime Trade Authority, a missile fired by a Yemeni group struck a merchant ship, causing damage.

▪️ Houthi missiles targeted the tanker PACIFIC 01 at a location 88 nautical miles northwest of Al-Hodeidah. The group claimed to have hit the intended target, but details of the attack remain scarce.

🔻It is likely that these new attacks by the Yemenis are strategically timed to coincide with the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, and also in retaliation to recent coalition airstrikes. Local media sources have reported 14 airstrikes conducted by the US Air Force in the last 24 hours on Al-Hodeidah, Hajjah, Absa, and Ras Issa.

Given this context, the recent statement by Ansarallah leader Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi is noteworthy. He claimed that since October 7, 2023, the Houthis have attacked 73 ships, while 34 people have lost their lives due to coalition attacks in Yemen. The movement's leader also issued a threat to obstruct the passage of ships not only through the Red Sea but also through the Indian Ocean.

🇾🇪🇺🇸 A few hours after the events of yesterday, the Houthis once again launched attacks in the Red Sea region. This time, Ansarallah fighters targeted two merchant ships. Meanwhile, the forces of the American-British coalition have not responded yet.

▪️ Last night, British maritime security company Ambrey reported an attack on a liquefied gas tanker passing off the coast of Al-Hodeidah: two explosions occurred near the ship, but further details were not disclosed.

▪️ Another anti-ship missile was fired at an unidentified vessel west of Al-Hodeidah. An explosion was recorded near the starboard side. Fortunately, the crew was unharmed, and the cargo ship continued on its designated route.

🔻Therefore, at least five attacks have taken place in the last 24 hours: four targeted merchant ships, while another targeted US Navy ships. The exact circumstances of most incidents remain unknown.

The surge in Yemeni attacks in the Red Sea could be linked to the start of Ramadan. Additionally, if there is an Israeli offensive on Rafah, as approved yesterday by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the number of attacks might rise further.
