Yemen's Houthis have conducted a military exercise at a remote area on the outskirts of Sana'a, including mortar launches, militant manouvres and firing at armored personnel carriers marked with US and Israeli flags, amid growing tensions with the United States over the escalation in the Houthis? attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. Yemen's Houthis have claimed responsibility for a multi-missile attack on a British oil tanker that was set ablaze by shells as it sailed in the Gulf of Aden near the Red Sea, according to Houthi military spokesman Yehya Sarea. The top leader of Yemen's Houthis, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, said that his group has fired more than 200 drones and 50 missiles at 'Israeli-linked' ships in the Red Sea since November 2023, when the Houthis initiated a series of attacks against Israel and commercial shipping in the Red Sea in retaliation for the Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip. The US Department of Defense had announced in December 2023 a multinational operation to safeguard trade and to protect ships in the Red Sea amid the recent escalation in Houthi attacks.
