Houthis In Yemen RESUME Attacks In Red Sea - UPDATE: "On Fire And Sinking"

"No ship will pass until aid is delivered to Gaza!"

By Hal Turner: The Houthis in Yemen have resumed attacking ships in the Red Sea with multiple attacks.

Overnight into this morning, a Liberian-flagged bulk carrier was attacked ~51nm SW of Hodeidah, Yemen, in a coordinated, multi-wave assault:

1. 8–9 skiffs opened fire with automatic weapons & RPGs.

2. 4 explosive Unmanned Surface Vessels (USV's) launched;  (2 were destroyed, 2 struck the vessel).

3. Three (3) missiles targeted the ship in the latest wave (Unconfirmed)

This is the first Houthi-linked maritime attack since Dec 2024, despite months of threats following US strikes in Yemen and calls to blockade Haifa-linked shipping.

This is a clear shift in Houthi intent for 2 reasons:

1. First attack in so long, AND;

2. Scale of the attack with multiple weapon types, was clearly intended to sink the ship.

As of 2:05 PM eastern US Time Sunday afternoon, the vessel is taking on water and crew is preparing to abandon ship.

UPDATE 2:21 PM EDT --

The following social media posting is from an account known to be who they claim to be:

UPDATE 2:51 PM EDT --

The crew abandoned the ship and it’s currently on fire and sinking.
