Yemen's Houthis launched missile attacks on the US Star Nasia and British Morning Tide vessels in the Red Sea in response to the US and British strikes on Houthi positions, according to a statement by Houthi military spokesman Yahya Sarea, who vowed to launch more missile and drone attacks at Israel and shipping lanes in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden unless Israel puts an end to the bombardment of the Gaza Strip. In January 2024, the US Department of State designated Yemen's Houthis as a 'Specially Designated Global Terrorist group' due to their increased attacks on shipping lanes. In December 2023, the US Department of Defense announced a multinational operation to safeguard trade and protect ships in the Red Sea in response to the escalation of Houthi attacks.
