Since the outbreak of the Hamas-Israel conflict in October of 2023, Houthi rebels controlling western Yemen have been launching a mix of drones and missiles to show their support for Hamas—first targeting Israel before redirecting their fire at civilian and military shipping off the coast of Yemen.
The Houthi movement colloquially simply Houthis is an Islamist political and armed organization that emerged from the Yemeni governorate of Saada in the 1990s.
The group is known to possess advanced long-range strike capabilities, such as the Quds series of land attack cruise missiles and several types of short-range ballistic missiles thought to be provided by Iran.
The attacks in the Read Sea area have managed to hit bulk carrier M/V True Confidence killing at least one sailor and injuring several others as well as sink Belize-flagged Rubymar
