Houthi forces launched a ballistic missile attack on a Saudi military vessel and four escort boats off the coast of Yemen's Mocha port, escalating regional maritime conflict.
The attack follows a series of 181 operations conducted by Yemeni government forces against Houthi positions over the last 24 hours, signaling a sharp rise in hostilities.
Shipping analysts warn that the strike significantly increases the risk profile for commercial vessels transiting the Red Sea, potentially impacting global trade routes and oil prices.
