Red Sea, January 10, 2024, The Europe Today: U.S. and British naval forces successfully intercepted and neutralized 21 drones and missiles launched by Yemen-based Houthis toward the southern Red Sea on Tuesday, according to the United States. British Defence Secretary Grant Shapps characterized it as the largest attack in the area by the Yemen-based Houthis to date.
The incident underscores the escalating regional implications of the three-month-long conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, extending its impact beyond the immediate theater of the conflict. Shapps hinted at potential additional measures to safeguard international shipping lanes in response to these heightened security threats.
