Merchant Ship Attacked With RPGs In Southern Red Sea Chokepoint

"Air raid sirens sounded across the Dead Sea region and parts of the West Bank following the launch of a ballistic missile from Y
emen toward Israel. The launch, attributed to Iran-backed
Houthi forces, marks an alarming expansion of their missile capabilities beyond the Red Sea maritime chokepoint.
Hours later, on Sunday morning, the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) received a report that a merchant vessel transiting 51 nautical miles southwest of Al Hudaydah, Yemen, came under attack by multiple boats armed with small arms and rocket-propelled grenades. The vessel's onboard security team returned fire." ZH
