The Houthi attack follows the recent sinking of the ship Tutor, signalling a new escalation in their campaign against vessels in the vital maritime corridor over the Israeli aggression in Gaza.

Meanwhile, US officials reportedly ordered the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, the aircraft carrier leading America's response to the Houthi attacks, to return home after a twice-extended tour. Yemen’s Houthis release a video showing them striking a Greek-owned MV Tutor coal carrier with missiles in the Red Sea.
They have seized one vessel and sunk two since November. A US-led air strike campaign has targeted the Houthis since January, with a series of strikes on May 30 killing at least 16 people and wounding 42 others, the group said.
