Since November 2023, the Houthis have launched dozens of drone and missile attacks on vessels, saying they were targeting ships linked to Israel in protest over attacks in Gaza.
The Houthis halted attacks on vessels during a two-month ceasefire in Gaza. Although they vowed to resume attacks on vessels after Israel re-launched its assault on Gaza last month.
In March, the US attacks killed more than 50 people, Houthi officials claimed.
