After the recent Houthi attacks on ships in the Red Sea, the US Navy took action and struck back. Yemen's Houthi rebels have been launching strikes on cargo ships for the past few weeks, and the US has come to the rescue, but they have not killed any Houthis. This time, they sunk three ships, killing ten people, but have clearly stated that they do not want a larger conflict. The US helicopters arrived and opened fire on the four Houthi ships that were attempting to board a Maersk cargo ship, and they noted that the Houthis had also previously fired on the Maersk crew. Three of the ships sunk and the crew was killed, while the fourth one fled. However, the Navy did not follow the ship back to the mainland to avoid escalating the conflict.
