The United States and United Kingdom finally became fed up with Yemen's Houthi rebels attacking cargo ships in the Red Sea, so they strongly retaliated. 28 areas across Yemen were hit by airstrikes, killing five people and wounding six others, and the Houthis have promised a strong retaliation to the US and UK. Houthis have been consistently attacking cargo ships passing through the Red Sea for months, and it has become a major issue for shipping companies with routes in the area. Due to this issue, shipping costs have risen over 600% since the start of the Israel-Hamas War.

Despite the US's efforts to calm conflicts in the Middle East, this could intensify the ship attacks into something bigger.
