Yemen's Houthis have launched two anti-ship missiles targeting a cargo ship in the Red Sea, according to a statement by the Houthis military spokesman Yahya Sarea, who added that the attack came after the ship's crew refused to respond to calls, including fiery warning messages. This is the 24th attack by the Houthis against merchant shipping in the Red Sea since 19 November 2023, the US Naval Central Command (CENTCOM) announced. The US Department of Defense announced on 18 December a multinational operation to safeguard trade and to protect ships in the Red Sea amid the recent escalation in Houthi attacks originating from Yemen. Houthis vowed to attack Israeli-bound ships and prevent them from navigating in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait in retaliation for Israel's airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, according to Sarea.
